TABLE I. 



HEIGHTS OF THE PRINCIPAL MOUNTAINS IN CUMBERLAND 

 AND WESTMORLAND. 



*«* The Publisher having been furnished, by the politeness of Colonel 

 Sir Henry James, with the following table of heights from the records of the 

 Ordnance Survey, has full confidence in the perfect accuracy of the admeasure- 

 ments now, for the first time, laid before the public. Much less confidence, 

 however, can be placed in Tables II and III, as their elements have not been 

 derived from the same sources. 



In relation to Table I, it may be remarked that while the highest mountain 

 in Scotland, Ben Nevis, is 4406-3 feet ; and Snowdon, the highest mountain in 

 Wales, has an altitude of 35901 feet; Scawfell, the calminating point of our 

 Cumbrian mountains, and the highest summit of England, is only 3229 - 6 feet.
