THE Trent, by which this county is bounded on the 

 south, and which receives, in its progress to the Humber, 

 the Ely the, the Tame, the Soar, the Derwent, the 

 Dove, and the Erwash, is second to no river in England, 

 excepting, perhaps, the Thames, and is well stocked 

 with jack, carp, barbel, chub, perch, roach, bream, 

 flounders, eels, &c. The Dove, which rises near the

Of all fair Thetis' daughters, none so bright, 



So pleasant to the taste, none to the sight 



None yields the gentle angler such delight !"

 the principal ornament in the superb domain of 

 Chatsworth. These rivers, with their various tribu-

 The Lathkil, which rises in the hills, and joins the
