"Next proceed to a little bay in Hallin-Hagg, where the painter will meet with employment for his pencil in two most beautiful landscapes. The best of these, in my opinion, faces Glencoyn, and contains many good objects not crouded too close together. The side-screens will be Ewe-Cragg, the rising ground in Gowbarrow Park, and some other less striking objects on the right hand: on the left: a small coppice, Sandwich-Dod, Sandwich-Cascade, and Birk-Fell: the front screen will take in Glencoyn-House, Lyulph's Tower, and the picturesque ground on which they stand; whilst Glencoyn Pike, Common-Fell, Catesby [Catsty] Pike, and Helveylin, succeeding each other in just degrees of distinctness, close the distances. I formerly shewed this view to Mr Smith when he was upon one of his painting expeditions; but a violent thunder-storm coming on, interrupted his work, and I do not know whether he ever returned to finish it." |
