"... Northumberland, ... through which there runneth a river full of flint and great stones, called the Water of Tyne. And on this river standeth the town and castle of Carlisle, the which sometime was king Arthur's, and held his court there oftentimes. Also on that river is assised the town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the which town was the marshall of England with a great company of men of arms, to keep the country against the Scots: and at Carlisle was the lord Hereford and the lord Mowbray, who were governours there, to defend the Scots the passage; for the Scots could not enter into England, but they must pass this said river in one place or other. The Englishmen could hear no tidings of the Scots till they were come to the entry of the said country. The Scots were passed this river so privily, that they of Carlisle nor yet of Newcastle knew nothing thereof, for between the said towns it was twenty-four English mile [leagues in the original]."
"... but so all that night they [The English] were fain to fast, nor their horses had nothing but leaves of trees and herbs: they cut down boughs of trees with their swords to tie withal their horses and to make themselves lodges. And about noon some poor folks of the country were found, and they said how they were as then fourteen mile from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and eleven mile from Carlisle, and that there was no town nearer to them wherein they might find anything to do them ease withal. ..."
The Scots determined to invade England. An English squire, sent to find out their intent, was discovered and captured. The main army of the Scots went towards Carlisle, while the earl Douglas with a smaller body entered Northumberland. 
after the Battle of Otterburn, won by the Scots:-  "... When tidings came to the other company of the Scots that were beside Carlisle, how their company had distressed the Englishmen beside Otterburn, they were greatly rejoiced, and displeased in their minds that they had not been there. Then they determined to dislodge and to draw into their own countries, seeing their other company were withdrawn. ..."

This Citie flourishing under the Romans, at their departure, by the furious outrages of the Scots and Picts was dejected, yet in the dayes of Egfrid King of Northumberland was walled about: but againe defaced by the over-running Danes, lay buried in her owne ashes the space of two hundred yeares; upon whose ruines at length Rufus set his compassionate eye, and built there the Castle, planting a Colony of Flemings to secure the Coasts from the Scots, but upon better advisement removed them into Wales. After him, Henry his brother and successor ordained this Citie for an Episcopall See: whose site is placed at the degree of Longitude from the first West part 17. and 2 scruples, and the Pole thence elevated from the degree of Latitude 55. and 56. scruples."

"Carlisle stands in view at least 4 mile distant; the town is walled in and all built of stone, the Cathedrall stands high and very eminent to be seen above the town; you enter over the bridge and double gates which are iron-grates and lined with a case of doores of thick timber; there are 3 gates to the town one called the English gate at which I entred, the other the Irish which leads on to White haven and Cokermouth, the other the Scottish gate through which I went into Scotland; the walls of the town and battlements and towers are in very good repaire and looks well; the Cathedrall all built of stone which looked stately but nothing Curious; there was some few houses as the Deans and Treasurer and some of the Doctors houses walled in with little gardens their fronts looked gracefully, else I saw no house except the present Majors [mayor's] house of brick and stone, and one house which was the Chancellors built of stone very lofty 5 good sarshe windows in the front, and this within a stone wall'd garden well kept and iron gates to discover it to view with stone pillars; the streetes are very broad and handsome well pitch'd."
"I walked round the walls and saw the river, which twists and turns it self round the grounds, called the Emount which at 3 or 4 miles off is flow'd by the sea; the other river is the Essex which is very broad and ebbs and flows about a mile or two off; there remaines only some of the walls and ruines of the Castle which does shew it to have been a very strong town formerly; the walls are of a prodigious thickness and vast great stones, its moated round and with draw bridges; there is a large Market place with a good Cross and Hall and is well supply'd as I am inform'd with provision at easye rates, but my Landlady notwithstanding ran me up the largest reckoning for allmost nothing; it was the dearest lodging I met with and she pretended she could get me nothing else, so for 2 joynts of mutton and a pinte of wine and bread and beer I had a 12 shilling reckoning; but since, I find tho' I was in the biggest house in town I was in the worst accomodation, and so found it, and a young giddy Landlady that could only dress fine and entertain the soldiers."

"Ye Arms of CARLISLE"
"CARLISLE - is a City of great Antiquity: said to have been built by [Luel] or Lugubal, a petty king of ye County, long before ye coming of ye Romans: Upon their recess out of this Isle, it was ruined by ye incursions of ye Caledonians or Picts, and other Barbarous Northern Nations; Afterwds. about ye Year 680 it was rebuilt & Walled round with Stone, by Edgfrid K. of Northumberland. Again in ye Yeares 700 & 800 it was sacked & layed in Ashes by ye Danes & Norwegians, & remained in a desolate condition till ye time of Willm. Rufus who haveing made a Peace with ye Scots, visited Carlisle, & considering how good a Barrier it might be against that People, in case of a new eruption, ordered ye Walls & Castle to be repaired. K. Henry 1st. repaired & much augmented its Fortifications. The Castle is at this Day a well Fortifyed building, as is the Cittadel, which rec~ed considerabel additions in its Strength, from K. Henry 8th. The Cathedral (tho it suffered considerably in ye great Rebellion) Still remains a very Magnificent Structure, & there are besides 2 good Parish Churches.

"... we came to Carlisle, a small, but well fortified city, the frontier place and key of England on the west sea, as Berwick upon Tweed is on the east; and in both which there have, for many years, I might say ages, been strong garrisons kept to check the invading Scots;"
"..."
"But I return to Carlisle: The city is strong, but small, the buildings old, but the streets fair; the great church is a venerable old pile, it seems to have been built twice, or, as it were, rebuilt, the upper part being much more modern than the lower."
"King Henry VIII fortify'd the city against the Scots, and built an additional castle to it on the east side, which Mr. Cambden, though I think not justly, calls a cittadel; there is indeed another castle on the west, part of the town rounds the sea, as the wall rounds the whole, is very firm and strong. But Carlisle is strong by situation, being almost surrounded with rivers. On the east it has the River Potterell, on the north Eden, and on the south the Cande, or Canda, or Calda, which all fall into the arms of the sea, which they call the Solway, or Solway Firth."
"..."
"There is not a great deal of trade here either by sea or land, it being a meer frontier."

Gentleman's Magazine 1745 p.673  "A short description of the ancient City of CARLISLE."
"CARLISLE has a most pleasant situation, being between three rivers, having on the North side the Eden, on the East the Petterell, and on the West the Caude. It is secured by a strong stone wall, a castle, and a citadel. 'Tis of an oblong form from N. West to S. East, extending in a point to the *South; ..."
"The British chronicle tells us, that it was first built by a petty king of this country, named Luel, or Lugubal, long before the Romans invaded Britain, and upon that account had the name of Caer-Luel or Lugubal. When the Roman legions, in the reign of the emperor Claudius, extending their conquests thus far Northward, they alter'd the name but very little, calling it Luguballum, or Luguvallum. The Saxons kept to the old name Luel. Ptolemy calls it Leucopibia: Nennius, Caer Lualid; the Welch writers, the city of Duballus, we Carlile; and the Latins, Caerleolum. Great pains are taken by some to find out the derivation of the name Luguballum; but none is so probable as this, that being situate just by the Picts wall or Vallum, and Lugus, or Lucus, signifying, in the language of the Celtae and Britains, a tower, it implies a tower or fort upon the wall, or Vallum. And tho' indeed there are little or no remains of the [Stan-]"

Gentleman's Magazine 1745 p.674  "wall near this city standing, yet at Stanwicks, a small village just over the bridge, and in the channel of the river itself, there are plain remains of it."
"That this city flourished in the time of the Romans, appears evidently from many antiquities frequently dug up here, and the common mention of it in Roman authors."
"Upon the departure of the Romans, it was ruin'd by the Scots and Picts, who spoil'd and ravag'd it, and it lay bury'd in its ruins till about the year of Christ 680, when Egfrid rebuilt it, and encompassed it with a fair stone wall; and having repaired the church, restor'd divine worship, placed in it a college of secular priests, and gave it to St Cuthbert, bishop of Landisfern, and his successors, with all the lands 15 miles round."
"Again, in the 8th and 9th centuries, the whole country was ruin'd by repeated incursions of the Danes and Norwegians, this city being laid quite desolate, some few ecclesiastics and chief inhabitants only excepted, and in this miserable state it continued 200 years. The Norman conquest, which happen'd in that time, better'd not its condition, for Wm the conqueror took no farther notice of it, than by his writ to subject it, and the rest of the county to the see of Durham. But Wm Rufus, his son, returning from the Scotch wars, after he had settled a peace with that nation, made a visit to Carlile, and being pleased with the situation, proceeded to repair the walls and castle, and rebuild the houses, sending thither first a colony of Flemings, (whom upon second thoughts he removed afterwards into North Wales and Anglesey) and then of English husbandmen out of the South, to teach them to till and improve their land, which before lay uncultivated."
"Carlile being thus in some measure restored, K. Henry I. considering how good a barrier it might be made against the Scots, caused it to be well fortified, placed a garrison in it, dignified it with an episcopal see, and bestowed upon it many other privileges and emoluments, which his successors , even down so low as Q. Elizabeth, very much augmented. It was indeed often besieged by the Scots, and twice taken, viz. in K. Stephen's and K. John's days, but recover'd again by their successors K. Henry II. and III. and tho' it was burnt by misfortune 14 Richard II. and near 1500 houses destroyed, with the cathedral and suburbs, yet by the munificence of the succeeding kings it was again restored, and much improv'd in strength and beauty."
"It is at present a wealthy and populous place, the houses are well built, and city walled in, having three gates, viz. the Caldo or Irish gate on the S. West, the Bother or English gate on the South, and the Rickard or Scotch gate towards the North. It is govern'd by a mayor, 12 aldermen, two bailiffs, &c. The assizes and sessions for the most part are held in this city."
"It has but two parish churches, ..."
"This observation is made by the reverend compiler of the Magna Britannia antiqua et nova, from whom the foregoing description is taken, ..."
"This city was formerly esteemed the key of England against the Scots on the West side, as Berwick was on the East, and so far is a place of great importance. Notwithstanding it was well provided with cannon, ammunition, &c. it was soon taken by the rebels, for which many causes are assigned [(see]"

A time may come when it will be more easy to discover the truth, or at least more proper to publish these varying accounts."
"This city was surrender'd to the rebels Nov. 16, 1745, and taken by his royal highness the D. of Cumberland, after 48 hours battering the West curtain of the castle from Primrose Hill, on Dec. 30, about 400 rebels left there, on the precipitate retreat of the main body to Scotland, surrendering to the king's mercy."

"Carlisle, the British Chronicle tells us, was first built by a petty King of this County, named Luel, or Lugubal, long before the Romans invaded Britain, and upon that Account had the name of Caer-luel, or Lugubal. In the Time of the Emperor Claudius, when the Roman Legions had extended their Conquest thus far Northward, they altered the Name but very little, calling it Luguballum, or Lugubalia, and fixed their Head Quarters here; whence it is that so many Roman Monuments have been, and still are discover'd in this Neighbourhood, ... This City of Carlisle is 235 Miles computed from London, and 302 measured."
"Upon the Departure of the Romans, this City was ruined by the Caledonians, i.e. Scots and Picts, and other barbarous Nations, who spoiling and ravaging it, it lay buried it in its Ruins 'till about the Year of Christ 680, when Egfrid rebuilt it, and encompass'd it with a Stone"

"Wall, repair'd the Church, and annexed a College of Canons, or Prebends, to it."
"But in the 8th and 9th Centuries, the whole County was again ruined by the repeated Incursions of the Danes and Norwegians, this City being laid quite desolate, and all the Citizens barbarously destroy'd, some few Ecclesiasticks and chief Inhabitants excepted, and in this miserable State it continu'd 200 Years, 'till the Time of the Norman Conquests, which better'd not its Condition, for William, the Conqueror, took no farther Notice of it, than by Writ to subject it, and the rest of the County, to the See of Durham: but William Rufus, his Son, returning Home from the Scotch Wars, after he had settled a Peace with that Nation, made a Visit to Carlisle, and being pleas'd with the Situation, he repair'd it, both as to the Fortifications and Houses, and placed here a Colony first of Flemings, and afterwards of English Husbandmen from the more Southern Provinces, for the Improvement of the Lands, which had then lain so long uncultivated."
"Carlisle being thus in some Measure restor'd, King Henry I. considering how good a Barrier it might be made against the Scots, caused it to be well fortify'd, plac'd a Garrison in it, dignify'd it with an Episcopal See, and bestow'd upon it many other Privileges and Emoluments, which might make it strong and populous, which his Successors, even down so low as Queen Elizabeth, very much augmented. It was indeed often besieg'd by the Scots, and twice taken, viz. in King Stephen's and King John's Reigns; but was recover'd gain by their successors King Henry II. and III. and tho' it was burnt by Misfortune in the reign of Richard II. and near 1500 Houses destroy'd, with the Cathedral and Suburbs, yet by the Munificence of the succeeding Kings, it was again restor'd, and much improved in Strength and Beauty."
"It is, at present, a wealthy and populous Place, the Houses are well built, the City walled in, having three Gates, viz. the Caldo, or Irish Gate, on the S. the Bother, or English Gate, on the W. and the Richard, or Scotch Gate, towards the N.

"annually, viz. on the Wednesday before Easter, on the first Wednesday in June, and on the 15th of August. It is govern'd by a Mayor, &c. The Assizes and Sessions, for the most Part, are held in this City"
"King Edward I. held a Parliament here in the 35th Year of his Reign; and King Henry II. committed the Custody of the City to the Citizens, and granted them the said City, and the Mills thereunto belonging, and the Royalty of Eden Water, in Fee Farm at 80 l. per Annum, with Liberty of the Waste, and to be free from Toll, &c. This City had also Charters granted them by several succeeding Kings, as King Edward III. Richard II. his Grandson, Henry IV. and Henry VI. by some of which, the Citizens are freed from the Fee-Farm Rent payable to the Crown, and enjoy the Fishery in the River Eden, with large Common of Pasture, Right of Fairs and Markets, and many other Immunities which are vested in the Corporation, (in whom also is the Manor) consisting of a Mayor, 12 Aldermen, two Sheriffs, or Bailiffs, 24 Capital Citizens, or Common-Council Men, and a Recorder."
"The Representatives in Parliament are chosen by the Freemen of this City, who are commonly reckon'd to be 500; tho' by giving honorary Freedoms, the Number is much increas'd. The Revenues of the City amount to 4 or 500 l. per Annum, and the Number of the Inhabitants taking in those of the Suburbs (tho' the Houses there are but few) is upwards of 2000."

"This City has given Title to many noble Persons, and, if we may believe some Historians, to some of the Royal Family."
"Ranulph de Meschines, known in our Histories best by the Title of the Earl of Chester, was made Earl of Cumberland, and because he had the Government of that County, and resided chiefly in this City, he was sometime stiled Earl of Carlisle.

And the gates of Carleyl shall be shutte, that no man shall come yn thereat.
Then shall not helpe, Clym of the Clough, nor yet shall Adam Bell,
Though they come wyth a thousand mo, nor all the devels yn hell."
"Early in the mornyng the justyce up rose, to the gates first gan he gon,
And commandeth to be shut full close, lyghtyly every one.
Then went he to the market place, as fast as he could hye,
A payre of new gallowes there set he up, besyde the pyllorye."
"A lyttle boy among them asked, "What meaneth that gallows-tre?"
They sayd to hange a good yeman, called Wyllyam of Cloudesle.

Page 27:-  "[approaching from Penrith] ... a wide champaign country opens in great breadth towards the north, in the centre of which the antient city of Carlisle seems lifting its sacred gothic grandeur to the distant view of the traveller. Few places are more commonly noticed in the history of our country than this city, first as a place of celebrity among the Britons, then amongst the Romans, who had a considerable fort here. The famous Picts Wall also crossed the kingdom by this place. It was destroyed by the Romans, but rebuilt by Egfrid, King of Northumberland. It hath been the residence of many feudal princes, and some kings of England and Scotland have alternately possessed themselves thereof. Here Edward King of England held his Parliament, and here David King of Scotland died. It was taken by the rebels in the year [1]745, but retaken by the Duke of Cumberland six weeks after, when one Coppock, whom the pretended had made bishop, was hung on the walls. Some say the first see was established by the Northumbrians, and others by Henry the 1st. The cathedral is a stately structure, ... The walls of the town are of prodigious thickness, and about a mile in circumference. It hath three entrances by gates, strongly fortified; that to the west is called the English gate, one to the south is called the Irish gate, and another nortward is called the Scotch gate. It hath large markets, copiously supplied with provisions, many wealthy inhabitants, large inns, some manfactories in cotton, and numbers of reputable traders."
"The sketch of the place from the engraved plan was taken on a green bank, which riseth towards the north, upon a level with the scite of the adjacent town. The several rivers Eden, Candy, and Pentorel, join their liquid embraces in the intervening leaves. The castle from hence on one side, looks like a complete fortress; on another, comely bridges are seen that cross the above rivers, whilst the numerous buildings of the town, its watch towers and walls unite in the view, and form, collectively, materials sufficiently interesting for the largest landscape that ever appeared on canvas; ..."

Gentleman's Magazine 1804 p.269  "Description of the Roman Sacrificial Vases lately discovered in Sewell's-lane, Scotch Street, Carlisle."
"These antiquities are so valuable, both from their rarity, and from the elegance of the workmanship, that they must be extremely precious in the eyes of the Antiquary. The name that the vase is generally distinguished by is praefericulum, and it is understood to have been appropriated to the holding of incense, &c. used in the sacrifice. Many of these have been brought from Greece and Siciliy, and have been highly estimated by the curious, for the elegance of the workmanship, and the beauty of the relief in the ornaments. But the Grecian vessels are principally of fine clay, or bronze. These vases we are speaking of, we believe, are the first which have been discovered in Britain; and the sculpture of such a vessel but once appears among all the altars found in this country: it is on a beautiful Roman altar, discovered at Ellenborough, which was removed to Flat-hall, at Whitehaven, and is now in the possession of Lord Viscount Lowther. This altar is inscribed "Genio loci, Fortunae reduci, Romae AEternae, et Fato bono," &c. It is said to be the most curious Roman altar that ever was discovered in Britain, and is particularly described both by Camden and Horsley, who go into a long train of conjectures respecting the instruments sculptured on its side, which are the praefericulum, the patera, the axe, and the knife."
"- The metal which the vessels in question are formed of seems to be a composition of refined brass, capable of receiving a very high polish, and so flexible that it allowed the artificer to form them extremely thin. At the top and bottom of the vases it is evident that they have been turned and finished in a lathe. From there being no accompanying altar or inscription, we regret we cannot suppose exactly the time of the Empire when these sacred vessels have been used. The only guide is the elegant sculpture of the handles, which consists of four tiers of groups of figures, in excellent workmanship, and all apparently illustrative of sacrifice. The uppermost seems to be two persons holding, or preparing, a cow or bullock for sacrifice; the next, a person taking hold of a hog for the same purpose; the third, a priest cloathed in his robes, standing at an altar, holding something on it; the lower one, which is the most beautiful, is, on the one side, a man cloathed in complete armour, holding a knife, as if going to sacrifice a sheep or a lamb, which another person below holds for that purpose; on the other side the priest stands, with another knife or sword, attending the ceremony. These vases are, from their extreme rarity, and from other cause, unquestionably of much greater value than we were first induced to set upon them."
"This piece of antiquity has been preserved, because it fell into the hands of a judicious mechanic; but we have heard it asserted as a fact, that some remains of antiquity, found in this neighbourhood, was a few years ago carries to a founder, who consigned it to the furnace, because no one present understood that such a thing was of the smallest value!"

"CARLISLE, CI[T]Y OF, in Cumberland ward, Cumberland, 18 miles from Penrith, and 305 from London. It is situated in a forest, near the confluence of the rivers Eden and Caldew. Its name seems to be derived from the Saxon word Caer Lyell, that is, the city near the wall, from its contiguity to the great Roman wall; and it is said to have been founded by Luil, a petty king of the county, long before the Romans came into the isle; and the site of Old Carlisle is some miles to the south-west of the ground upon which the city now stands. Being a frontier town, it is fortified with a wall, a citadel, and a castle. ... It has two parishes, containing 1420 houses and 10,875 inhabitants, being 4479 males and 5742 females, of whom 2600 were returned as being employed in trade and manufacture. The buildings are good, and the streets are clean and spacious. There are two churches, St. Cuthbert's and St. Mary's, ... The principal streets are English, Scotch, Fisher, Castle, and Abbey streets, which are spacious and well paved. The guildhall, where the trades meet, is a mean and paltry building. The market-place is adorned with a pillar, on the top of which is a lion, and the bridges over the Eden are old-fashioned and very narrow; and although this city has been much improved within the last 50 years, and the population is greatly increased, yet much more still remains to be done, both for appearance and convenience. The Picts, wall (sic), which was built across the country from Newcastle, terminates near this place. It was once strongly fortified, but the castle and walls are now gone to decay, ... It is a bishop's see, and was formerly part of the diocese of Durham; but made a distinct bishopric by Henry I. ... It is governed by a mayor, recorder, 12 aldermen, 24 common council-men, &c. The mayor's court is held every Monday, and the town-sessions every quarter. The session of assize for the county is held here once a year, to which there are two judges, one for criminal, and one for civil causes. They arrive in the city the tenth Sunday after Trinity. The Easter and summer quarter sessions are also held here. The manufactures consist of cotton-yarn, cotton and linen checks, osnaburghs, drills, worsted shags, stamped cottons, hats, shamois, tanned leather, lindsays, nails, hardware, dressed flax, ropes, &c. It sends 2 members to parliament, and gives title of earl to a branch of the Howard family. Market on Wednesday and Saturday; fairs, 26th August, and about 3 weeks after, and 2 statute days for hiring servants, the Saturday before Whitsunday and Martinmas. St. Mary's is a curacy, in the patronage of the dean and chapter of Carlisle; and St. Cuthbert's is also a curacy in the same patronage. Lat. 54° 56′ 0″. Lon. 2° 53′ 0″W. - Hutchinson's Cumberland."

In a 'Review of New Publications' of the 'Border Antiquities of England and Scotland'.  "There are few Cities in England which have been the scenes of more momentous or more interesting events than Carlisle. During those years when the borders of the two countries were the theatre of alternate triumph and defeat of both, it shared with suffering fidelity in the fierce contests of its warlike possessors; and even at a later period, when Rebellion reared her bloody standard in the North, Carlisle was at once the witness of crime, and the scene of its punishment. Recently, also, the Muse of a popular writer has excited an increasing interest concerning all that relates to Border transactions, where will one be found of any importance, that is not more or less connected with Carlisle and its towers of defence? The office of Warden of the Marshes was one commnly bestowed upon Nobles of tried fidelity and known courage; and in their train were to be found the youthful aspirers after military glory, who longed to signalize themselves in feats of arms, where bravery was opposed to bravery, and the wreath of glory was won, not by a single achievment, or by desultory prowess, but by continued watchfulness, labour, and skill. ..."

Descriptive text:-  "VIEW OF THE ANCIENT CITY OF CARLISLE."
"THE ancient city of Carlisle is nearly surrounded by the rivers Eden, Pettrell, and Caldew. It is 305 miles from London, on the great western road to Glasgow, and not more than 13 from the borders of Scotland. There is no doubt that this city, called by the Britons Caerleyl or Caer-leol, was the Luguvallum of the Romans, mentioned in the itinerary of Antoninus. We are told by two of the Scottish historians, that Carlisle, one of the strongest of the British towns, was burnt by the Scots during the absence of the Romans, in the time of the Emperor Nero. It must have been after this event, and probably in the time of Agricola, that Carlisle was fortified with walls by the Romans as a strong frontier town, against the invasions of Picts and Scots. So durable was their structure, that, notwithstanding the recorded desolation of this city by the Danes, and the many subsequent repairs of the walls after its sundry sieges, much Roman masonry remained till of late years in different parts, particularly on the east side. When St. Cuthbert was at Carlisle in 685, we are told by Bede, that the citizens took him to see the walls, and a well of curious workmanship made by the Romans."
"..."
"The citizens of Carlisle, in the year 1193, gave ten marks for their liberties and privileges. It appears, that they held the city in fee farm, in the year 1201; in 1231 they obtained a confirmation of former grants. In 1292 they gave ten marks for the privilege of having coroners of their own. In the reign of Edward I. the citizens pleaded to a quo warranto, that they were entitled to murage for all goods exposed to sale in the town; a free guild, a market, a fair, &c. They claimed the free guild under Richard the First's charter, and pleaded, that the town had been originally demised to them in farm by King Henry I.; but not being able to make good their claims, in consequence of the records of the town having been destroyed by fire, they were not allowed. The fire here alluded to, was a dreadful conflagration, which had then recently happened, on the 19th of May, 1292. The whole city appears to have been consumed with the priory, the convent of Grey Friers, and their churches; the convent of Black Friers, being near the eastern-wall, alone escaped. This dreadful conflagration is said to have been occasioned by an incendiary, who, from motives of resentment, set fire to his father's house, and was executed for the fact. The King, in consideration of this calamity remitted the citizens a moiety of their fee-farm rent, due the preceding year, and restored to them the city with its ancient privileges."
"In the year 1352, King Edward III., in consideration of the importance of Carlisle as a frontier town, and the calamities the citizens had suffered by the plague, and by the assaults of besieging armies, granted them an ample confirmation of all the privileges they had before enjoyed by prescription; markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays; a fair for sixteen days, to commence on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary; the election of a mayor, bailiffs, and coroners; assize of bread, &c., pleas of the Crown; trial of felons; goods of felons and fugitives; the place called Battle-Holme, for holding their markets and fairs; the city mill; the King's fishery in the river Eden, &c. &c. King Charles I., in the year 1637, confirmed all the former charters, and incorporated the citizens. The corporation consists of twelve aldermen, one of whom is annually elected mayor, two bailiffs or sheriffs, two coroners, and twenty-four common-councilmen, with power to elect a recorder and town-clerk."
"This city has sent two members to Parliament ever since the reign of Edward I. The members are elected by the free burgesses, about 750 in number."
"The markets at Carlisle are still held on Wednesday and Saturday, and abundantly supplied with corn, cattle, and provisions of all sorts. The principal market day is Saturday. There was formerly a horse fair, the first Monday in June, for three days, which has been many year discontinued; there is a considerable cattle fair on the 26th of August; but the principal fair for both horses and cattle, is on the 19th of September. During these fairs, all persons are free from arrest in the city. A series of fairs, or great markets, for horses and cattle, commences on the Saturday after October 10, and continues till Christmas."
"In the reign of Henry VI., in consequence, as it appears, of the assizes having been removed to other places, by occasion of the wars with Scotland, an Act of Parliament passed, by which it was ordained, that in time of peace or truce, the assizes for the county should be holden at Carlisle, as had of old been accustomed, and not elsewhere."
"..."
"Carlisle first began to be of some importance as a manufacturing town about the year 1745, when a large woollen manufactory was set up by some Hamburgh merchants; but after a few years it was discontinued. About 1750 a manufactory of coarse linen, and a new woollen manufactory were set up. Soon after this, the cotton manufactory was introduced, and both that and the linen manufactory rapidly increased. Calico-printing was introduced about 1761."
"A great change in the trade of Carlisle has taken place within the last fifteen years; it now consists almost entirely of the manufacture of cotton goods upon a very extensive scale. About one thousand two hundred looms are employed in this manufacture in the town, and a still greater number in the neighbouring towns and villages. The principal articles made are ginghams for the West India market. The spinning of cotton is carried on also to a considerable extent; there being eleven cotton-mills in the town and immediate vicinity. containing about eighty thousand spindles. There are three print-works, where the printing of cotton is carried on very extensively, and various other concerns connected with the cotton-trade, such as dyeing, bleaching, &c. A small mill for weaving calicoes, a manufactory of carpets, and three iron-founderies, have been lately established; and there are four public breweries. According to the returns made to Parliament in 1801 and 1811, the city and suburbs of Carlisle contained, at the former period, 1,338 houses, and 10,221 inhabitants; and at the latter, 1,709 houses, and 12,531 inhabitants."
"..."
"Carlisle is divided into two parishes, St. Mary's and St. Cuthbert's. The parish of St. Mary comprises the most populous part of the city."
"The parish church of St. Mary is, as already stated, within what remains of the nave of the cathedral; the benefice is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of the dean and chapter, to whom the great tithes are appropriated."
"In the parish of St. Mary are meeting-houses for the Presbyterians, Independents, Baptists, Quakers, and Methodists, and a Roman Catholic chapel. Robert Milne, many years pastor of one of the Presbyterian congregations, who died at an advanced age in the year 1800, was author of Physico-Theological Lectures, &c. The Quakers have had a congregation here almost from the time of their first establishment: George Fox, their founder, was imprisoned in the dungeon at Carlisle, and suffered great hardship here in 1653."
"..."
"The parish of St. Cuthbert comprises the district about English Street, the suburb called Botchard-gate, besides several out-townships."
"The parish church of St. Cuthbert was rebuilt the beginning of the seventeenth century; it contains no monuments of note."

"THE order in which the Lakes should be visited, if seen in any prescribed order at all, can be pointed out much more easily than satisfactorily. Lancaster and Kendal in the south, Carlisle and Penrith in the north, formerly offered the readiest facilities of access to this Northern Elysium; but since the improvement of steam navigation, Whitehaven and other ports have become equally suitable as starting places. One advantage, however, remains in favour of the old routes, that the direct lines are better, especially for carriages, although to the pedestrian this will not be a matter of any great importance."

The entrance from the west is graced by Trinity Church of Gothic architecture, while admiration is excited by the Infirmary, a noble Doric building, and in front frown the ramparts and massy keep of the Castle. The road from Glasgow approaches the city from Stanwix Bank, where the east or Newcastle road joining it, they pass into the town over the substantial bridge crossing the Eden. From the Newcastle road is presented the most picturesque view: the meadows and woods of Rickerby, the bridges, and over them the castle and cathedral, are the most striking objects."

Opposite the Bush Inn, which is also well-known on the road as a superior posting-house and hotel, stands the News-room and Library, built by private subscription, from the designs of Mr. Rickman, who was also architect for the churches. The County Gaol and Court-houses were designed by Smirke. One of the circular towers forms the Nisi Prius Court; the other, connected with the prison, the Crown Court. The prison is on the radiated plan, the governor's house being in the centre, and communicating by means of galleries with the different wards. The Infirmary, near the canal, will repay the walk, besides the fresh views of the town gained in this direction. It is built on a very convenient plan, and has a centre portico of four large Doric pillars, supporting a pediment. The merits of its situation have been a subject of much dispute; but what is still worse, owing to litigation between the contractor and the building committee, although finished in 1832, it was not opened for the reception of patients until nine years thereafter."

The markets are well supplied with almost every thing that can gratify the palate of the gourmand, and rates so low as to render it, in these respects, a very desirable place of residence for persons of limited fortune, but accustomed to luxurious indulgences. The Grammar School, founded by Bishop Smith, affords an opportunity of obtaining an economical English and classical education. With regard to institutions for promoting the education of the poor, supplying their necessities, whether in food, or medicine, or medical attendance, the Infirmary, the Dispensary, and House of Recovery, the National School, the Lancastrian School, and others, fully attest that Carlisle is no whit behind the most favoured towns. It is also an excellent place whence conveyance may be obtained to all parts of the kingdom; mails daily leave the city for Portpatrick and Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London by way of Leeds and Manchester; besides several other stage-coaches. The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway offers opportunities four times a-day of travelling between those places; and from the canal basin, a swift fly-boat conveys passengers to Bowness on the Solway, whence they can be comfortably and safely conveyed to Liverpool either by the Royal Victoria or Newcastle steam-packets, in a single tide."

"THIS is, on the whole, a work of considerable merit. The publisher, Mr. Samuel Jefferson, of Carlisle, has been more than usually fortunate in the amount and quality of the literary assistance he has received from a variety of able contributors; and has executed his own editorial task with much judgment and good sense. There was not before any History of Carlisle beyond a few summary guide-books; and the only former accounts of it worthy of mention, are those in the Histories of Cumberland, by Nicolson and Burn, by Hutchinson, and by the Lysons's."
"From its peculiar and very important situation as a border fortress, Carlisle mixes more than most places in the general history of the kingdom; and for this part of the subject the foundation was broadly laid in Ridpath's Border History, and in other works. We feel bound, however, to add that our author appears to have availed himself very industriously of all sources within his reach, and to be generally alive to the additional materials which have been afforded by modern works."

"Apart from architecture, Hutchinson had a good talent for observation and description; and his account of Carlisle furnishes a striking example of the value which accrues even in less than half a century to minute and apparently trifling remarks, especially when they are made in a transition period of society - and what period, in this ever-changing world, is not more or less a period of transition? It is true, however, that in the present instance the change has been rapid; for in the course of half a century Carlisle, from being a dull and silent military garrison, quietly sleeping within its girdle of ramparts, has been converted into a strictly manufacturing town, throwing out its various arms of communication, and gathering in its vicinity a teeming and busy population. Mr. Hutchinson's details are somewhat long, and Mr. Jefferson has judiciously compressed them. In the following extracts we shall beat the field still more cursorily, as our only object will be to bring forward the more striking points of this picture:"
""Carlisle after this period (the period of the rebellion in 1745, when it was first occupied by the Pretender's adherents, and afterwards became the scene of the execution of many of them), continued to present the appearance of an important military garrison. Sentries were posted at every gate, besides those at the castle and the house of the governor. The gates were closed and locked every night with the usual military parade; and guns were fired morning and evening, when they were opened or shut. The draw-bridge at the outer gates of the castle was drawn up every night at ten o'clock, and thus all communication with the city was cut off. There were towers or turrets, at intervals, along the whole line of the city walls,and upon these cannon were placed and sentinels posted. The greater part of the soldiers and artillery-men who formed the garrison were quartered on the citizens."
""At this time the trade of Carlisle was very limited, and a large part of it was transacted at two great annual fairs, at which numbers of persons attended from different parts of England and Scotland. Provisions and other necessary articles were very cheap, and the industry of the citizens provided them with wearing apparel of their own spinning. In consequence of the little trade carried on, there were at this time no public carriers from this city. Coals were brought in sacks on ponies, which were allowed to graze in Fisher street, which was then quite green with grass."
""The office of Mayor was considered to be of no great consequence; he seldom appeared in public without some of the insignia of his office, and was generally attended by one of his serjeants. The citizens were industrious and hospitable, and a friendly and neighbourly intercourse pervaded the whole city."
"..."
""The houses of the citizens bore no marks of taste, or even what would now be considered requisite for comfort. Most were built of wood and clay, in few instances exceeding one story in height, and generally covered with thatch. The gable-ends of many fronted the street, in the old style of domestic architecture, and presented long rows of porches at each door. The rooms were miserably lighted by the small windows, which were irregularly placed; and the strong outer doors were arched, and fastened together by wooden pins projecting from the surface. Those houses which were two stories high, had the upper rooms floored with oak, but without any ceiling beneath. They were not painted, either within or without. "The lanes and avenues, even the church road, were not paved; and in many places entirely covered with weeds and underwood. The streets, not often trod upon, were in many parts green with grass. The centre part or causeway, rose to considerable height. The fronts from the"

Gentleman's Magazine 1839 part 1 p.518  "houses were paved in the same manner; the consequence of which was that the kennels or gutters were deep trenches, and stone bridges were placed in many different parts, for the convenience of passing from one side of the street to the other. These gutters were the reservoirs of all kinds of filth, which, when a sudden heavy rain happened, by stopping the conduit of the bridges, inundated the streets so as to render them impassible (sic) on foot. Manure was of such little value, that the corporation gave a man 40s. per annum, and a new cart occasionally, to remove it every week. Goods were brought into the city on pack-horses, as the roads were so bad as to be almost impassable for other conveyances. The staple trade was in whips and fish-hooks, but there was also a small linen manufactory. As there were no public breweries, the publicans brewed their own ale, and many of them made their own malt. * * *"
""About the year 1747, a company of Hamburgh merchants selected Carlisle as a suitable place in which to carry on an extensive woollen manfactory, although at such a distance from those parts of the kingdom where this branch of business had generally been cultivated. This manufactory was of great consequence to Carlisle and its neighbourhood, but in a few years declined, and the company became insolvent. About the year 1750 Aldermen Richard and William Hodgson established a manufactory of coarse linen cloths, called Osnaburghs, and also a woollen manufactory, which, however, was of short duration."
""At this period the military road from Carlisle to Newcastle was commenced, chiefly on the line which was formerly the Roman road. When this was completed, carts and waggons were more frequently used. Soon after, manufactories of linen and cotton began rapidly to increase, and improvements in the city continually took place. Houses were built in a greatly improved manner, and every year an additional number, which gradually replaced those on the old construction. In 1756 a public brewery was established near the Irish Gate. * * The balls and assemblies were held in a large room in the castle, which occupied the site of the new magazine. At this time there were four private carriages kept in the city, - a coach and four belonging to Dr. Waugh, Dean of Worsester (sic); another coach and four, the property of General Stanwix; and two single horse chaises belonging to Major Farrer and Mr. Dobinson. About this period post chaises were first kept at the Inns. * * *"
""In 1761 a company from Newcastle commenced the calico-printing in this city, under the firm of Scott, Lamb, and Co., and an extensive manufactory was established soon after. In consequence, land increased in value, rents were heightened in proportion, and prices in general rose considerably. Familes who before had been unable to earn more than eight shillings weekly, were now receiving from twenty to thirty shillings. This increase of business brought numbers of Scotch and Irish in search of employment. * * In 1794 there were four print-fields, which employed about one thousand persons. * * There were also two hundred persons employed in spinning cotton. * * Three breweries, at this time, paid upwards of 6000l. annually in duty, and a soap manufactory paid 1500l. * *"
""After the introduction of manufacturing into Carlisle, the population of this city was considerably increased. In 1763 the inhabitants were numbered, on a suggestion of Bishop Lyttelton, and found to be 4158. In 1780 they were again enumerated under the inspection of Dr. Heysham, when they were found to have increased to 6299, and the number of houses was 891. In 1801 the inhabitants were found to be 10,221; in 1811, 12,531; in 1821, 14,....; in 1831, 19,069.""
"Such is a sample of the curious particulars and valuable statistical remarks for which we are indebted to the observations of Mr. Hutchinson; and of his correspondent Mr. R. Longrigg, a resident in the city. A few lines, from a subsequent part of the present volume, in which the commercial history of the place is more fully detailed, will complete the picture in its main features:"
""From the introduction of the cotton manufactory, Carlisle commenced a steady course of posperity; since 1761 it has three times doubled its inhabitants, and besides the employment given to the native population, it sends forth work to the inhabitants of the towns and villages at a distance of twenty, thirty, and even forty miles around. The principal fabrics are ginghams and checks (for the West Indian market), calicoes, carpets, table-cloths, &c. There are eleven or twelve cotton-mills in the town and immediate vicinity; three print-fields, several dye-houses, bleacheries, hat-manufactories, three iron-foundries, and four public breweries."

"And now we must take leave of Mr. Jefferson and Carlisle, only adding that the history of one of our ancient cities, the scene of many important historical events, and the theatre of many generations once active in the affairs of this busy world, fully merits the expanse of two quarto volumes. The best model for such a history is the Shrewsbury of Blakeway and Owen. We may repeat our general satisfaction with this work, as a popular history; but at the same time we will add out hopes that it is merely a prelude to a larger and more satisfactory work."

For those who wanted to put anything in missionary boxes, here were the boxes. For those who wanted the Reverend Mr. Podgers (artist's proofs, thirty shillings), here was Mr. Podgers to any amount. Not less gracious and abundant, Mr. Codgers of the vineyard, but opposed to Mr. Podgers, brotherly tooth and nail. Here, were guide-books to the neighbouring antiquities, and eke the Lake country, in several dry and husky sorts; here, many physically and morally impossible heads of both sexes, for young ladies to copy, in the exercise of the art of drawing; here, further, a large impression of Mr. SPURGEON, solid as to the flesh, not to say even something gross. The working young men of Carlisle were drawn up, with their hands in their pockets, across the pavements, four and six abreast, and appeared (much to the satisfaction of Mr. Idle) to have nothing else to do. The working and growing young women of Carlisle, from the age of twelve upwards, promenaded the streets in the cool of the evening, and rallied the said young men. Sometimes the young men rallied the young women, as in the case of a group gathered round an accordion-player, from among whom a young man advanced behind a young woman for whom he appeared to have a tenderness, and hinted to her that he was there and playful, by giving her (he wore clogs) a kick."
"On market morning, Carlisle woke up amazingly, and became (to the two Idle Apprentices) disagreeably and reproachfully busy. There were its cattle market, its sheep market, and its pig market down by the river with raw-boned and shock-headed Rob Roys hiding their Lowland dresses beneath heavy plaids, prowling in and out among the animals, and flavouring the air with fumes of whiskey. There was its corn market down the main street, with hum of chaffering over open sacks. There was its general market in the street too, with heather brooms on which the purple flower still flourished, and heather baskets primitive and fresh to behold. With woman trying on clogs and caps at open stalls, and "Bible stalls" adjoining. With "Doctor Mantle's Dispensary for the cure of all Human Maladies and no charge for advice," and with Dr. Mantle's "Laboratory of Medical, Chemical, and Botanical Science" - both healing institutions"

Through all these bargains and blessings, the recruiting-serjeant watchfully elbowed his way, a thread of War in the peaceful skein. Likewise on the walls were printed hints that the Oxford Blues might not be indisposed to hear of a few fine active young men; and that whereas the standard of that distinguished corps is full six feet, "growing lads of five feet eleven" need not absolutely despair of being accepted."

"Carlisle was the first and stoutest bulwark gainst the northern foe, and maintained that character for close upon sixteen hundred years, from the remote time of the Roman dominion until the union of the kingdoms under James the First. The place, standing as it does upon a rocky bluff, overlooking the levels of the Solway and the Eden, was, it would almost seem, intended by Nature for this office, and here accordingly the Roman wall of Hadrian was traced, running from sea to sea, from Wallsend near Newcastle, to Carlisle, and ending on the Solway Firth at Bowness. Here they found an early Celtic settlement, "Caer Lywelydd;" but it was not the site of Carlisle, but rather Stanwix, its northern suburb, on the opposite bank of the Eden, that formed the Roman military station of Luguvallum, i.e., Lywellydd "on the wall." What is now Carlisle was the civil settlement. When the Romans withdrew, to defend their decaying Empire nearer home, Luguvallum, peopled with half-breed Romano-British, who could not retire with them, made"

Page 138:-  "for years a hopeless fight with the savages out of Scotland on the one hand, and with the Saxons on the other. The Saxons, as almost everywhere else, prevailed in the end, and the town became in their tongue "Caer Luel;" whence the transition to "Carlisle" is one of the easiest."
"Carlisle, the great medieval fortress-town, owes its origin to Rufus. The mighty Conqueror, who subdued most other portions of this land, rested short of Westmoreland and Cumberland, which had then one hundred and twenty years been accounted Scottish soil; but it was under his generally despised son that these broad lands were won back for England; and the Scottish King Malcolm, invading England on the east coast, in revenge, was slain in 1093, at Alnwick. Peace, however, was not to reign upon these contested lands for yet many a century; but what could be done was accomplished, and Carlisle Castle arose, a grim Norman keep, upon the highest apex of the town. It was in years after enlarged and strengthened, and the strong walls of the city connected with it; and to-day, although the factory-buildings and the smoky chimneys in the distant view of Carlisle show, readily enough, that the city is now a place of commerce, the Norman castle-keep still darkly crowns the scene, sharing its pre-eminence only with the Cathedral."
"But in spite of its castle and the stout town walls, Carlisle has been, many more times than can readily be counted, the scene of warfare, and was often sacked and burnt. It was thus ever a place of arms. In all the country round about, men went armed to the plough, and the great lords held their lands from the King under the strictest obligations to military service, and were captained by the Lord Warden, whose duties included the firing of beacons and the mustering of all men between the ages of sixteen and sixty. Small tenants held their fields and farms under the name of "nag-tenements" and "foot-tenements," and were bound, according to their degree, to fight mounted or on foot."
"When the enemy crossed the Border, there was a stir in the city of Carlisle, like that which accompanies the overturning of an ant-heap. The muckle town-bell was rung, the citizens assembled under arms, and the women manned the walls (if"

"There was no worse time in this long history than the reign of Henry the Eighth. War with Scotland had brought to that country the crushing defeat of Flodden, where, in the words of the Scottish lament, "The flowers of the forest were a' weed awa;" but the result was anarchy in the Borders, where thousands of lawless men lived, whom no man could restrain. The Warden's office was then no light task, and a Scot on the English side, or an Englishman on the Scottish, went in momentary danger of his life. Every man was required to explain his presence, and in the streets of Carlisle none might speak, without leave, to a Scot, and none of that nationality was permitted to live in the city."

"The last raid took place actually in 1601, when the kingdoms were united by the accession of James the First, and while he was at Berwick, journeying to London. Several hundreds of Scots then came plundering past Carlisle, and many were captured and duly hanged. James, anxious to unite the kingdoms in reality, ordered that the name of "the Border," standing for centuries of warfare, should give place to "the midlands," but the new style does not seem ever to have come into general use; and the coming of the Stuarts meant in after years much more trouble for Carlisle and its surroundings;"

The citizens paid dearly for their loyalty, and were reduced to eating horses, dogs, and rats. Hungry folks chased errant cats hazardously across roof-tops, in view of the besiegers, who took long shots at them; and even hemp-seed became so dear that only the wealthy could afford it. Money current in the city was coined from silver plate; but there was so little food to purchase that, as a diarist of the time wrote, "the citizens were so shrunk from starvation, they could not choose but laugh at one another, to see their clothes hang upon them as upon men on gibbets.""

Page 143:-  "Carlisle," it is sad to think how low the martial spirit had sunk by 1745, when the militia, assembled in the city, declined to fight the rebels under Prince Charlie. A bold front would have compelled the invaders to leave Carlisle alone; but the broadswords of the Highlanders had so much of what military historians term "moral effect" that the militiamen positively refused to run the risk of being cleaved by that terrible cold steel. Poor Colonel Durand, in command - if we may still call that a command which will not obey orders - might rave, and implore, and even weep, but it was useless, and the city was surrendered. Prince Charlie was in camp at Brampton,"
HP01p144.txt
Page 144:-  "eight miles away, and it must have been a proud moment for him - if a sorry humiliation for some - when mayor and corporation went out to him and on their knees offered the keys of the gates. The next day the Prince entered in triumph, on a milk-white horse, one hundred pipers piping before him. It must have been a fearful moment - for those who did not love the bagpipes."
"George the Second, at St. James's, began to reconsider his position at hearing of this signal failure of his sworn protectors, and many excellent, though time-serving, people in high places began to explain away the disagreeable things they had said of the Stuarts. But in a few weeks, as we know, the Highlanders were retreating; and, trimming their sails anew, politicians and witlings were repeating again their protestations of loyalty to the House of Hanover, and refurbishing that old quotation from Revelation, chapter xvii., verse 11, first current in 1715, by which they affected to believe that James the Second of England and Seventh of Scotland, and his son, the Pretender (de jure James the Third and Eighth) were the subjects of prophecy: "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.""
"An ingenious find, it must be allowed, and sufficient, providing no one else could refer to Revelation and find another quotation, a little destructive of the first. But such an one was actually to hand in the preceding verse, which very curiously says, "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he cometh, he must continue a short space." There were those excellent Whigs who, reading this, were not entirely happy until events demonstrated that the rebellion was absolutely hopeless."
"The Duke of Cumberland with ease retook the city, and captured it with Prince Charlie's devoted rear-guard: the brave Colonel Townely and his 120 men of the Manchester Regiment, together with over two hundred Highlanders, and some few Frenchmen. They were lodged in the Cathedral, and thence taken in a long melancholy procession to London, there, according to their degree, to be beheaded as gentlemen,"
HP01p145.txt
Page 145:-  "or hanged like common malefactors. They rode, tied hand and foot, or walked, roped together, the whole bitter way."
"The Duke was not greatly impressed with the military value of the castle. He called it "an old hen-coop," but it held securely enough the other miserable prisoners who were sent into Carlisle after Culloden. Four hundred of them awaited their doom in the grim dungeons, throughout the hot weather of 1746, and in October the executions began, Ninety six fell to the hangman, and others were transported beyond seas. In batches of half-a-dozen or a dozen at a time, they were called forth from their captivity and drawn on hurdles to that Hanoverian Golgotha, Gallows Hill, south of the city, where they were hanged and afterwards quartered, in the bloody-minded old way; their heads afterwards set upon poles over the Scotch Gate."
"... it is in the unexpected modern surroundings of the public library that the most tragical memento of that time brings the hazards of rebellion with great vividness before you. This is a plaster cast of a monument erected to Dr. Archibald Campbell in the Savoy Chapel, London. The Chapel was largely destroyed by fire in 1864, and with it the marble monument. The unfortunate doctor was a non-combatant who acted as surgeon to the rebels at Culloden, and escaped abroad from that disastrous field, He returned after seven years, to his Scottish home, thinking he might then safely do so; but was informed against and executed."

"If you seek frowning gateways, embattled walls, and the like, sufficient to clothe the stirring story of Carlisle, you will be freezing in the cold shade of disappointment, for the streets of Carlisle are wide, many of the houses are modern, and railways are very much to the fore. The Cathedral is obscurely placed, and almost the only picturesque nook is the alley called St. Alban's Row. Even the old upping-blocks that used to stand so plentifully by the kerbstones for the convenience of horsemen, and were a feature of Carlisle, have disappeared. Only the odd names of the streets and alleys occasionally remain: among them Rickergate, Whippery, and Durham Ox Lane."
"Carlisle of to-day has a commercial reputation. It makes hats and whips, and textile fabrics, to say nothing of dye-works, where the citizens of Carlisle are prepared (at a price) to dye for their country. The manufacture of gingham, too, the secret of it stolen long ago from Guingamp, its native place, in Britanny, occupies a good deal of attention, and the production of biscuits and cardboard-boxes makes up the tale of the city's activities. But Carlisle, for all these developments, looks a poor place, and by no means a merry. All the fun ceased when raiding and murdering went out of date,"
