Clarke (James), ca. 1787 
Of this writer but little is known. The Rev. H. A. 
Macpherson ( Fauna of Lakeland , Prolog., pp. xvii-xviii) says 
that “ Clarke was a land-surveyor, and lived at Penrith. 
His earliest years must have been passed at no great distance 
from the shores of Ulleswater. The Rev. T, Lees, F.S.A., 
believes that Clarke was born in the neighbourhood of 
Watermillock. . . . Clarke enjoyed the reputation of an 
unconventional character, devoted to exploring alone the 
mountains of his native district, yet by no means averse to 
sharing the good-fellowship of his acquaintance.” 
In his Survey he deals, among other “ natural wonders,” 
with only the more remarkable beasts and birds he met 
with. His account of the birds in the Appendix is, moreover, 
limited to the birds of prey. His book is noteworthy for 
the mention of the osprey nesting in Whinfield Park. At 
p. 30 also are to be found the prices paid for the destruction 
of eagles, ravens, and other “ vermin.”
