the house and garden, which is left as it was when Wordsworth lived 

 there, the members drove through Grasmere to Lancrigg, the residence of 

 the Eev. H. M. Fletcher, Eector of Grasmere, where all were most hospit- 

 ably entertained at tea. The beautiful grounds once belonging to the 

 famous Arctic traveller. Sir John Eichardson, were visited ; and an album 

 containing autograph letters of Wordsworth, and other distinguished 

 characters, was inspected with much interest. On returning, all stopped 

 at Grasmere Church, the burial place of the poet and his family ; Ambleside 

 being reached about seven. 



After tea in the lecture room, a large audience assembled to hear a most 

 eloquent and thoughtful lecture by Professor Knight, on "The True, the 

 Beautiful, and the Good." 



On Friday, at ten a.m., original papers were read by several gentlemen, 

 most of which will be found in this Part of the Transactions. At one p.m., 

 the members were entertained at luncheon at the Salutation Hotel, by the 

 President and Committee of the Ambleside Society, to whom, on the motion 

 of the President, a hearty vote of thanks for their efforts for the success of 

 the meeting, and kind hospitality, was accorded. At two, carriages were 

 in readiness to take the party to Tarn Haues, Yewdale, and Tilberthwaite 

 Gill. After inspecting the great slate quarries at the entrance of the Gill, 

 the party walked up its entire length, stopping a while at a bend of the 

 gorge where it turns at right angles to its former course, to hear a short 

 address from Mr. Marr, F.G.S., on the eroding agencies that had been at 

 work in forming the Gill. The. grandly picturesque scenery of the upper 

 part of the glen well repaid the party for the fatigues of the climb, now 

 made comparatively easy for all, through the bridges which Mi-. Marshall, 

 at Professor Ruskin's request, has caused to be thrown across the stream 

 wherever necessary. Returning through the woods on the opposite side of 

 the Gill, the members were most kindly entertained at tea in a farm-house 

 near at hand, by the Ambleside and District Society, and afterwards drove 

 home, reaching Ambleside in the evening. 



This concluded the programme of the Ambleside Meeting, which, 

 favoured as it was with fine weather, and by the hearty co-operation and 

 thoughtful hospitality of the Ambleside and District Society, proved in 

 every way a most enjoyable and successful one.
