Mrs. Lewis had in her own hands as a 

 lodging houfe, was alfo quite full. To be 

 again introduced, as it were into the world, 

 after my folitary rambles amongft the 

 wilds of this country, made a moft pleafing 

 variety in my tour ; and I enjoyed very

 every one prefent. 



The lodging houfes in the town, are 

 many of them dirty and miferable places. 

 There are at Barmouth, three bathing
