AN ESSAY ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT. By JOHN PHILIPS, F.R.S., G.L., Deputy Reader of Geology in the University of Oxford. SEVENTH EDITION. With a Correct Travelling Map; Views of the Scenery by T. M. Richardson jun., Montague Stanley, etc.; Twelve Explanatory Outline Views of Mountain Groups, by Mr. Flintoft of Keswick; Four Charts of the more interesting Localities, Itineraries, and all the Hotels. FOR the lover of nature, no Tour can be named of a more pleasing character than that which these Lakes afford; yet we see crowds of people hurrying to the Continent on the return of each summer, without deigning to glance at the lovely scenery of their own land. "We penetrate the Glaciers, and traverse the Rhone and the Rhine, whilst our domestic lakes of Ulleswater, Keswick, and Windermere, exhibit scenes in so sublime a style, with such beautiful colourings of rock, wood, and water, backed with so stupendous a disposition of mountains, that if they do not fairly take the lead of all the views of Europe, yet they are indisputably such as no English traveller should leave behind him." "This Guide to the Lakes has been compiled upon the same elaborate plan (as the Picturesque Tourist of Scotland), governed by the same resolution to spare no cost or trouble to achieve a successful result. It needs no higher commendation. It is a Picturesque Guide in every sense-its descriptions are charmingly written, its intelligence is ample and mintue. and its illustrations are admirable specimens of art."-Atlas. "This is a little work that has an extensive popularity in the Lake districts, for the accuracy and extent of the information it conveys. Many guide-books are overloaded with useless matter, which only serve to perplex and irritate the tourist. This can never occur with the volume before us, inasmuch as it contains multum in parvo,' and is so adapted as to suit every lass of travellers."- Bell's Weekly Messenger.
