An illustration of that sort of country, which composes the
narrower parts of the straits of Borrodale. They consist of
rocky, or craggy mountains on each side; with a stream, or,
in some parts (where the stream may be hid) a road, in the
middle. But it is difficult to give any idea of these
tremendous scenes, in so small a compass, as they are here
exhibited: for, as their terror consists greatly in their
immensity, it is not easy to persuade the eye to conceive
highly of their grandeur from these diminutive
representations.- Mr. Farrington has given us, on a larger
scale, a fine portrait, and I think, a very exact one, of
the entrance into these straits at the village of Grange.
