Mr. Farey’s Notes on Mr. Bakewell’s Geology. 327 
[P.278]Seat appeared depressed 3’ 53” (p.66), and at Lords-Seat, 
Axe-edge appeared depressed 5’ 26”; and some calcula- 
tions will be necessary (which I have not now time for), to 
decide, which height is erroneous : that one of them, or of 
the depressions, must be so, is too apparent. 
The other altitudes mentioned in this work, of Hills con- 
tained in my List, Rep. i. 16, and P. M. xxxvil. p. 161, are 
Alport (or Orpit) Hill of Ist Grit 980 feet, Bardon Hill of 
coarse Slate 853 feet, Bradfield Moor (or Point) of Ist Grit 
1246 feet, Hathersage Ridge of 2d Grit 1377 feet, Hol- 
land (Hollin or Holan) Hill of Red Marl 487 feet, Holme 
Moss of 2d Grit 1859, Mole-copi of coarse Grit 1091 feet, 
Sutton (Sherwood) Forest-Hill of Gravel 600 feet, and 
Weaver Hill of 4th Lime 1154 feet. 
1. 24, over Kinder Scout +.—7 This great and irregular 
Hummock of Ist Grit (Rep. i. 226) has no particular 
summit, that is very decidedly higher than several others on 
its edges, much less, “ 400 feet” higher, than any line which 
could be traced ‘‘ over’? this Mountain: Mr. B’s Work 
would have suffered nothing, from the omission of the whole 
of this paragraph: and a piece of injustice to an Engineer 
of eminence, in publishing this statement would have been 
avoided: since I cannot doubt but Mr. Brown has been 
completely misunderstood by Mr. B. because, on reference 
to a ** Plan of the Ashton under Line, Peak Forest, Hud- 
dersfield and Rochdale Canals,” prepared by Mr. Brown, 
for publication, by Mr. J. Cary, some years ago, whereon the 
levels are stated, of the existing Canals, it appears, that 
from the Duke of Bridgewater’; Canal at Manchester to 
the Bugsworth branch of the Peak Forest Canal, the rises 
are 7of. 7in. 114f. 6in. 48f. Oin. and 212f. Oin; to which 
adding 82 feet for the Locks at Runcorn into the Tide-way 
in the Mersey, we have 532f. lin. for the elevation of Bugs- 
worth Wharf above the Sea. It further appears from the 
Map referred to, and the abstract of a Survey that was 
made under Mr. Brown’s direction in 1810, contained in 
Mr. Rennie’s printed Letter of the 26th of October 1810, on 
the intended “ High- Peak Junction Canal,” that the further 
rises of 129f. Oin. and 189f. Yin. attain the summit level of 
this proposed Canal, which: passing from near Malcalf 
through a proposed Tuunel wnder Bowden-Edge, (which 
is between Lords-Seat and Kinder Scout) emerges again 
at Dale-end in Ecal Valley on the S side of Kinder Scout 
mountain, and continues thence to skirt its southern flank 
to Nether Booth, before the lockage is to begin, for de- 
scending towards the eastern Rivers, (see Rep. vol. ii. 
chap. xvi. sect. 3). This
