entrance of the cave, and partook of fome refreshment we 
had the precaution to make our fervants bring with them, 
and which we found both agreeable and neceffary to re¬ 
cruit our Strength and fpirits for the remainder of our 
excurfion over the mountains, about three miles to Chapel 
in the Dale 5 a long uninteresting valley, fprinkled with 
mean cottages and indifferent farm-houfes, enclofures Sur¬ 
rounded by bare Slone walls, and fcarcely a tree, or buSh, 
to give beauty or an appearance of animation to the Sterile 
fcene. As we purpofed completing our ramble by a vifit 
to Weatkercote Cave, we proceeded forwards with confide- 
rable fpeed, notwithstanding the ful'trinefs of the air, which 
was really often overcoming; and, when we leaSt expected 
to arrive at the end of our journey, we reached a field in 
which, overfhaded by fome low trees and Shrubs, was a 
door, which, on being thrown open for our receptioji, 
we beheld, with aftonifhment indefcribable, a Sheet of 
water dafhing down a craggy Steep, the height of at leaft 
fixty feet, roaring and foaming as it fell into a frightful 
chafin, whence it in a moment difappeared beneath the 
earth, and for upwards of a mile was no more feen or 
heard of; when it again becomes vifible to human eyes, in 
a calm unruffled Slate. Defcending a rocky Steep, crawling 
and clambering over rocks and broken Stones for the fpace 
of twenty yards, we found ourfelves beneath a rude-con- 
llmdted arch; and paSfing onward, nearly the fame dis¬ 
tance further, we reached the margin of the pool, where 
the force of the tumbling waters Seems to Shake the rocks 
themfelves, and a white foam, rifing high around, calls a 
continual fpray over the objefts upon either hand. As 
the precipices do not here unite at top, the eSfeft of the 
light admitted through the aperture is aftonilhingly beau¬ 
tiful. The walls are nearly perpendicular, a hundred 
feet in height, and covered with a beautiful intermixture 
of Shrubs and coloured modes; while the grandeur of the 
Scene is greatly heightened by a large Stone being fuf- 
pended over the aperture from whence the water itTues, 
where it rnuit have hung for ages; and, though placed in 
an apparently infecure foundation, it will in ail proba¬ 
bility remain for centuries to come. There are Several 
paflages beneath, and near to, the cataract, which fome 
perfons have been hardy enough to vifit; but we did not 
venture to explore any of their gloomy recedes ; we were 
Satisfied with a fight of the truly beautiful fcene before 
us, which we continued long to admire and wonder at, 
and confidered infinitely more deferving of a vifit than 
the Peak, or Poqle’s Hole, thofe fo-much-talked-of won¬ 
ders in the neighbourhood of Buxton.”

IN'GLIS (Sir James), a Scottish poet who flourished 
towards the middle of the fixteenth century. According 
to Mackenzie, he was defcended from an ancient family 
in Fife (hi re, where he was born in the reign of James IV. 
He was educated at St. Andrew’s, went to Paris, and re¬ 
turned in the minority of James V. into whole favour he 
ingratiated himfelf by his poetry, having written fundry 
tragedies and comedies, and other poems, that were much 
applauded by good judges. He joined the French faction 
againit the English ; and, in fome Skirmishes preceding 
the fatal battle of Pinkie, fo diftinguilhed himfelf, that he 
was knighted on the field. After the lofs of that day, he 
retired into Fife, and amufed himfelf with his favourite 
Studies; and in 1548 published at St. Andrew’s his noted 
Complaint of Scotland. This is a well-written work for 
the time; and Shows abundance of learning. He appears 
from it to have read much, both in Greek and Latin au¬ 
thors ; to have been well-Skilled in mathematics and phi- 
lofophy; and to have been a great lover of his country. 
Unpublished and in manufcript (fays Mackenzie) are 
Poems, confilting of Songs, Ballads, Plays, and Farces. 
He died at Culrofs, in 1554.
