are adapted to the railway trains; and, as they 

 are occasionally altered, I recommend the tourist 

 to procure the authorised Time-tables, published 

 monthly for one penny. 



The fares of the steamers on lake Windermere 

 have been frequently changed. They are at present 

 moderate, and the payment of the fare to any 

 place entitles the tourist to a free passage back 

 to his starting point, by either of the Company^s 

 boats, in the course of the day. 



There is a steamer on Ullswater, and a small 

 one on Coniston. 



The usual hire of row-boats, with one pair of oars, 

 is one shilling per hour. 



In order to proceed to Furness Abbey, the tra- 

 veller will go down to Newby Bridge, either by 

 steamer, or by the road, which passes 

 the grounds of Storrs, and cuts over 

 hill and dale, and winds among the 

 copses, till it crosses the bridge opposite the inn. 

 In leaving Bowness the traveller passes the villas 

 of Burnside, Ferney Green and Belfield, on the 

 right, before he reaches Storrs. The copses of the 

 district have been valuable, to the remotest known 

 date, for charcoal ; and they have become more so 

 siiice the increase of manufactures has stimulated 

 the demand for bobbins. There are bobbin-mills 

 at Skelwith Bridge, Troatbeck Bridge, and at 

 Keswick. But the charcoal-burning goes on still, 

 we believe, with some activity in these southern 

 parts of the district. The one the traveller has 

 just passed was the scene of the life of two brothers 

 whose name and fame will not be let die. Their 

 name was Dodgson; and they lived in Cartmol
