Gentleman's Magazine 1804 p.847  "... ..."
"It is the opinion of many eminent men, that the air of mountains produces a peculiar animation and cheerfulness. At Keswick we have an account of the museum of Mr. Crosthwaite, and the rival one of Mr. Hutton, both abounding with curiosities and information; but the latter has the minerals, though small in number, better arranged."
