 runs eastward, towards Lowestoff, near to which it

 and joins the Yare near Yarmouth. The Orwell, or

 Haverhill, to Sudbury and Maningtree, where the 

 tide meets it, and being joined by the Brett, near 

 Neyland, and dividing the county from Suffolk at 

 Harwich, and meeting, as we have said, the Orwell 

 from Ipswich, falls into the sea beneath the batteries of
