		Description of Scenery in the Lake District, by William Ford, published by Charles Thurnham, London, et al, 1839; published 1839-52.
		... THE Lake district ... consists of large masses or clusters of mountains, generally terminating in one aspiring and pre-eminent point, with the intermediate valleys occupied either by lakes and their subsidiary tarns, or by winding rivers.
		The chief nuclei of these clusters are, Skiddaw and Blencathra, Helvellyn, Fairfield, Coniston Old Man, Blackcomb, Scafell, Gable, Red Pike, Grasmoor, Grisdale Pike, and the Langdale Pikes. Many noble and commanding mountains rise around these, rivalling them in height and grandeur, but still
		Page iv:-
		serving as large buttresses only. In the presentation of endlessly-diversified forms, these Mountains yield to none, however individually inferior they may be, owing to their being seldom seen in a detached point of view; although, on the other hand, they have thus the advantage of forming combinations at once grand and sublime, towering above each other, or rising in ridges, like the mighty billows of the ocean.

		Is less difficult of ascent than the rest of the superior elevations, and the road from the town is so conducted as to render the way easy either on foot or on horseback. The views in the ascent are perhaps superior to those presented from the summit. One of the finest is where Ormathwaite appears splendidly surrounded by majestic trees, and all the populous and beautifully-embowered plain extending from lake to lake. A little further is an exquisite view of Keswick and the lake, with
		Page 64:-
		the Borrowdale, Langdale, and Wastdale mountains. On the steepest part of the road, Derwent Water gradually unfolds and extends itself in its whole encircling and beautifully-embayed coast, its islands, and its fertile shores and savage boundaries. Hence also the high mountains of Langdale, Coniston, Eskdale, Borrowdale, Wastdale, Buttermere, and Newlands, are observed in an arrangement superior to their appearance from any other point. There are seven distinct tops or heaps of stone, which should be visited in succession by the pedestrian: most of these present interesting and varying views, but the chief elevation is deficient in not allowing a sight of Derwent Water. The grand and extensive prospects embrace five different ranges of mountains: First, Grizedale, rising from the enclosures of Braithwaite. Second, succeeded by Barrow and Stile End. The third range rises from the fields of Newlands, and terminates in Causey Pikes and Grasmire. The fourth in this wild combination, includes Cat Bells, Hindscarth, Robinson, and Red Pike. The fifth and last, is that sublime chain extending from Coniston to Ennerdale. In the distant sea is observable the Isle of Man; the towns of Cockermouth and Workington on the Derwent; the Solway, with Maryport and Allonby; Ireby at the foot of Binsey; Wigton and Carlisle; High Hesket and Tarn Wadling; and Blencathra and Wanthwaite Crags.
		The descent will appear to many more pleasing, both as it is easier, and as it is agreeable to see

		every thing resuming their original shapes and just proportions, which they lose when viewed from such an unusual elevation. The returning symptoms of life, the hum of bees, the song of birds, and the voice of busy people, restore tone to the spirits depressed by over much excitement.
