 to confine my observations rather to generalities than to local 

 details, which I must leave the reader to gather for himself from 

 the map appended to this article, or from the statements given in 

 the paper just mentioned.

 Physical Characters of Edenside. — The district herein more 

 specially referred to is that part of Cumberland and Westmorland 

 lying between the northern slopes of the Lake District and its 

 eastward continuation, the Howgill Fells, on the one hand, and the 

 main line of watershed ranging along the summit of the Cross Fell 

 Escarpment on the other. This area coincides, in great part, with 

 the lower two-thirds of the basin of the Eden, but to speak of it as
