WINDERMERE.
A few years ago there was only one meaning to the word
WINDERMERE. It then meant a lake lying among mountains, and
so secluded that it was some distinction even for the
travelled man to have seen it. Now, there is a Windermere
railway station, and a Windermere post-office and hotel;- a
thriving village of Windermere and a populous locality. This
implies that a great many people come to the spot; and the
spot is so changed by their coming, and by other
circumstances, that a new guide book is wanted; for there is
much more to point out than there used to be; and what used
to be pointed out now requires a wholly new description.
Such new guidance and description we now propose to give.

The traveller arrives, we must suppose, by the railway from
Kendal, having been dropped at the Oxenholme Junction by the
London train from the south, or the Edinburgh and Carlisle
train from the north.
