 anchor of 20 tons may, undoubtedly, be 

 managed with as much eafe as a pin. In 

 other works beiides the anchor-making, I 

 thought I obferved a wafte of ftrength. 



In the road from Newcajlle to the 

 works, upon rifing the firfl hill, there is a 

 moft noble view into an extenfive vale: 

 cultivated riling inclofures, furrounding a 

 prodigious fine water, (the river 'Ty?ie) 

 which has the appearance of a lake, feve- 

 ral miles long, and of a noble breadth. In 

 the middle a very fine ifland of an irregu- 

 lar oblong fhape, fcattered with trees : 

 The whole water enlivened with numerous 

 boats, failing to and from Newcajlle : The 

 river lofes itfelf at each end, under wav- 

 ing hills in a beautiful manner. Upon 

 the whole it has the appearance of one 

 of the fineft lakes in the world. — At
