Text Appearing Before Image: mountain, in the neighbourhood of its summit, forms a kind of moss-covered plain, inclining towards the west, and terminated eastward by Alpine precipices. Hence, the prospect spreads to an astonishing extent, and embraces great part of the lakes Ullswater, Windermere, Coniston, and Esthwaite, together with a number of tarns which lie in the bosom of the hills. Red Tarn is seated so deeply below the eye, that, compared with its gigantic accompaniments, it would scarcely be estimated at more than half its actual dimensions. To the right and left of Red Tarn, the two narrow ridges called Striding Edge and Swirrel Edge are stretched out. Beyond the latter lies Keppel Cove Tarn, and at the termination of the ridge rises the peak of Catsty Cam, modernized into Catchedecam. Angle Tarn, and the frothy steam from Hays Water, may be seen among the hills beyond Patterdale; and, more remote, the estuaries of the Kent and Leven, uniting in the Bay of Morecambe, and extending to the distant ocean, Text Appearing After Image: Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. -
