Now as the country on the east side of Leeds, extending 
towards Selby and the banks of the Humber, is low and 
marshy, and was, probably, at a remote period, connected 
with an extensive inland lake, is it too much to suppose that 
the Leister to which I have alluded, was one lost by some 
Scandinavian fisherman who was following his occupation in 
this district ?
