Text Appearing Before Image: ich is here shownto great advantage, on the summit of an eminence, and completely embosomed in richand massive woods. The name of Lambton is connected with a marvellous legend, of anenormous worm, that infested the banks of the river Wear, and which was at lengthovercome by a hero of this family. This tradition, veiling some mystery which has notdescended to us, is a strong testimony to the antiquity, the valour, and prowess of theparty whose achievements it perpetuates. Indeed, both history and tradition, uniting withthe common consent of the present day, bear witness, that with the house of Lambtonhas ever been associated those lofty qualities which ennoble high birth; and whence arederived the highest advantages to a people, for whom their inheritor may be called tolegislate. RAVENSWORTH CASTLE—DURHAM. Ravensworth Castle, the seat of Thomas-Henry Liddell, Lord Ravensworth, is situatewestward of the river Team, on the site of the ancient castle, a fortress of very great antiquity.
