We gladly refer the lake tourist and lover of antiquity to a
newly-published work, entitled 'Furness and Furness Abbey.'
The mass of information here contained, its pictorial and
other embellishments, and the superior excellence of its
typography, deserve for it an extensive circulation, and
reflect the utmost credit on its publisher, Mr. D. ATKINSON,
of Ulverston.
