record, for the precincts, of well-known historical events ; 

 the interest of the river consists in its identification with 

 one of the most important branches of the local com- 

 merce. Before going so far in search of enjoyment, it is 

 wise to remember that long before reaching even Lymin, 

 the line via Broadheath gives access to quiet fields that in 

 summer evenings are rich in pleasant influence, those in 

 particular which lie west of Dunham Massey. A very 

 delightful rural neighbourhood, almost contiguous, has 

 also now been opened up by the " Cheshire Midland." 

 Urmston, Flixton, and Glazebrook are centres from which 

 it is difficult to move unprofitably. Very much of course 

 depends upon the amount of disposition to be pleased 

 that we carry with us, and upon one's progress in the 

 culture of that finest of the fine arts the art of seeing.
