12 ART OF ANGLING. 



THE HUMBER is formed by the Trent, the 

 Northern Ouse, the Derwent, and several other 

 smaller streams. By the late inland navigation, 

 it has a communication with the Mersey, Dee, 

 Ribble, Severn, Thames, Avon, &c. which navi- 

 gation, including its windings, extends above 

 five hundred miles in the counties of Lincoln, 

 Nottingham, York, Lancaster, Westmoreland, 

 Chester, Stafford, Warwick, Leicester, Oxford, 

 and Worcester : it divides Yorkshire from Lin- 

 colnshire, and falls into the German ocean near 

 Holderness. 



AVON, the name of four Rivers in England ; 

 viz. 1, rising in Leicestershire, runs south-west 

 by Warwick and Evesham, and falls into the 

 Severn at Tewkesbury : 2, in Monmouthshire : 

 3, rising in Wiltshire, coasts the edge of the 

 New Forest, and enters the English Channel at 

 Christ Church Bay in Hampshire : and 4, the 

 Lower Avon, which rises near Tedbury in Wilt- 

 shire, and running west to Bath, becomes navi- 

 gable ; continues its course to Bristol, and falls 

 into the Severn north-west of that city.
