  "WARD 
  ON 
  THE 
  ORIGIN 
  OF 
  SOME 
  

  

  At 
  a 
  future 
  time 
  I 
  hope 
  to 
  test 
  the 
  results 
  here 
  obtained 
  for 
  these 
  

   lakes 
  by 
  bringing 
  forward 
  like 
  details 
  in 
  the 
  ease 
  of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  

   other 
  lakes, 
  and 
  notably 
  Wastwater, 
  and 
  also 
  in 
  a 
  similar 
  way 
  to 
  

   consider 
  the 
  origin 
  of 
  the 
  many 
  mountain-tarns 
  scattered 
  throughout 
  

   the 
  district. 
  This 
  latter 
  subject 
  leads 
  me 
  to 
  make 
  the 
  remark 
  that 
  

   a 
  great 
  service 
  would 
  be 
  rendered 
  if 
  some 
  one 
  could 
  be 
  induced, 
  

   during 
  the 
  summer 
  months, 
  to 
  visit 
  the 
  various 
  tarns 
  with 
  a 
  small 
  

   light 
  canoe 
  and 
  sound 
  their 
  depths. 
  The 
  work 
  is 
  one 
  I 
  would 
  

   mostly 
  gladly 
  undertake 
  myself 
  ; 
  but 
  as 
  my 
  official 
  business 
  will 
  not 
  

   allow 
  me 
  the 
  necessary 
  time, 
  I 
  must 
  leave 
  it, 
  hoping 
  some 
  one 
  may 
  

   be 
  found 
  to 
  do 
  it 
  out 
  of 
  pure 
  love 
  for 
  scenery 
  and 
  science.
