	p.132 top		very considerable, but ...     Why so cruel Mr, Author? He was a Legitimate Child to all Intents & Purposes.
	p.144 para.1		On the 28th of October ...     There is so much stuff in this Book, that a Person will scarce know whether to believe the war betwixt the Trouts
	reverse of plate 10		The Author makes Windermere 1 Mile & 240 Yards Broad at Miller ground; whereas Crosthwaite could not stretch it to more than 7 Furlongs at said place     If it be asked why Crosthwaite has made the Remarks in this Book; his reasons are as follows; First, because it was not lawful for this author to follow Crosthwaite in the Lakes without making actual Surveys with Additions & Improvements; Second, this minute & accurate Survey as it is very unjustly called, made a great noise in England for 3 years before it came out, & all this while did in some measure hinder the sale of Crosthwaites Maps, which are proved to be accurate & useful too; Third, because this great Book is a shameful Imposition upon the Public, & will withall if not Exploded, hurt the Touring business, with Crosthwaites sale of his Maps, Museum &c. which is his principal Support, & who has Expended many Hundred Pounds for the benefit of said business, himself & Family.
