		... to the little village of Powley, or, as it is pronounced Poolah. As the beauties of the Lake can no otherwise be seen to perfection, we must here embark for that delightful expedition: this we may do either in one of the boats kept by Edward Richardson, at the sign of the Sun, or in that with which the Earl of Surrey politely gives leave to his keeper to accommodate any gentleman who desires it. Richardson's boats are neat and in good repair, but his Lordship's is truly worthy its noble owner. ...
		As there is little or no convenience for dining at Powley, I would advise those who visit Ulswater to take some refreshment with them; but they may be supplied with liquors at Powley, wine excepted. ...

		We now return to the little village of Powley, which appears by the cross which stands there to have been formerly a market town; the cross is now in ruin, though it was, in A.D. 1679, repaired by the Earl of Sussex. From the bridge, which takes its name from this village, is the most beautiful view of some parts of the Lake; Dun-Mallard in particular rises in a most picturesque manner, and exhibits to the view the almost inaccessible avenue which leads to its summit.
		If now we desire to take the fish of this Lake in perfection, we must adjourn to Edward Richardson's, whom I mentioned before. Edward himself is a real curiosity; he is blind, but an excellent guide to any of the adjacent places, and a sensible, intelligent man. I shall not here enlarge upon the cookery of our fish; I only shall add, their flavour is far the finest when dressed as soon as taken, and is still improved by the plain manner of dressing; I mean roasting them, (wrapped up in wet paper,) among wood ashes: the reader may laugh if he pleases at my cookery, but if he will try it he will find it far exceed his expectations.
