their contrast in form and colour, a beautiful appearance.
The scene which has been engraved for this work, is made on
the margin of the stream, immediately under the usual stand;

No. 16.
PELTER BRIDGE, RYDAL.
This bridge is a mile from Ambleside, the fore-ground on the
left is brought from the other side of the bridge, the
drawing being made out of a flat field on the Loughrigg side
of the river Rothay - the houses are the beginning of the
little village of Rydal, on the road from Ambleside to
Keswick.

The mountain over the lesser arch of the bridge is Nab Scar,
from a certain point of which there is, to a great extent of
distance, an exquisite and almost circular view of the
country, which is composed of mountains, lakes, rivers,
woods, and buildings; and this view, in its kind, is perhaps
more interesting than can be furnished by the domains of
Rydal from any other summit.
