OH) r Mi Yell at BORA RR Ye niab 
chinfon, of Bernard Cajtle, will do the fame in his hiftory of 
Durham. 
I commencep a friendfhip with that gentleman in this jour- 
ney, in a moft fingular manner: I was mounted on the famous 
ftones in the church-yard of Penrith, to take a nearer view of 
them, and fee whether the drawing I had procured, done by 
the rev. doétor Tod, had the left foundation in truth. Thus en- 
gaged, a perfon of good appearance, looking up at me, obferved 
© what fine work Mr. Pennant had made with thote ftones !” 
I faw he had got into a hormble fcrape; fo, unwilling to make- 
bad worfe, defcended, laid hold of his button, and told him, “I 
am the man!”’ After his confufion was over, I made a fhort de- 
fence, fhook him by the hand, and we became from that moment 
faft friends. 
Tue fubject of part of this journey will be found among my 
pofthumous works, fairly tranfcribed, neatly bound in vellum, 
and richly illuftrated with drawings by Mofes Griffith, and with 
prints. This will take in the fpace from Downing to Orford, the 
feat of my worthy and venerable friend the late Fohn Blackburne, 
efg. From thence to Kuow/fly, Sephton, Orm/kirk, Latham, and 
(croffing the country) to Blackborn,: Whalley-abby, Ribchefter, 
Mitton, Waddington- ball, and Clithero, moft of them in the county 
of Lancafbire. In that of York, I vifited Sally-ably, Bolton-ball, 
Malham Coves, Settle, Gigglefwick, and Ingleton. 
I ren crofied the Lune to Kirkby Lonfdale, and vifited all 
the parts of Wefimoreland and Cumberland, omitted in my printed 
tours of 1769 and 1772: and finally I finifhed this M.S. vo- 
lume at Alon, near the borders of Durbem, Fora more full 
I account
