144 BEST'S ART OF ANGLING. 



Trevel, Lon, Nen, Welland, Darvent, Calder, 

 Wharf, Nid, Don, Swale, Hull, Ouse, and Are. 

 The rivers in Wales are reckoned above two 

 hundred, the principal of which are>the Dee, 

 Wye, Conwy, Tivy, Chedlayday, Cluid, Usk, 

 Tovy, TafF, and Dovy. Several rivers in England 

 run under ground and then rise again, as a branch 

 of the Medway in Kent ; the Mole in Surry ; 

 Hans in Staffordshire; the little rivers Allen in 

 Denbighshire, and Deverel in Wiltshire ; the ri- 

 ver Recall hides itself under-groundynear Elmsley 

 in the North-Riding of Yorkshire; at Ashwell 

 in Bedfordshire, rise so many sources of springs 

 that they soon drive a mill ; at Chedder, near 

 Axbridge in Somersetshire, is a spring that drives 

 twelve mills in a quarter of a mile. In the midst 

 of the river Nen, south of Peterborough in North- 

 amptonshire, is a deep gulf, called Medeswell, 

 so cold, that in summer, no swimmer is able to 

 endure it, yet is not frozen in the winter. 



I shall now give the angler the names of the 

 rivers in our Counties. 



Bedfordshire. The Ouse navigable to Bedford, 

 and divides the county into two parts ; the Ivel, 

 Lea, and other smaller streams, 



Berkshire. The Thames, Isis, Kennet, Loddon, 

 and the Lambourne ; the latter, contrary to all 

 others, is always the highest in summer, a'.id 

 lowest when winter approaches. 



Buckinghamshire. The Thames, Ouse, Coin, 

 Wickam, Amersham, Isis, Tame, and Loddon. 



Cambridgeshire. The Ouse, Cam, Welney, 

 and Neve,
