Sends 4 Members to Parlmt. / Appleby Co. Town, 266 miles from London. The map is in a roundel at the top of page 37 of an atlas. Below there is descriptive text:- WESTMORELAND is 45 miles in length from east to west, and 33 in breadth from north to south. It is divided into 2 baronies, which contain 8 market towns, 26 parishes, 8,212 houses; and the population amounts to 41,617. The air is clear, sharp, and healthy; the soil various; the mountainous part very barren, and the vales altogether as fertile. Copper mines, and, it is said, some veins of gold, are in the mountains. The hams cured in this county are of excellent flavour. The principal rivers are the Eden, the Lone, and the Ken. It has also several fine lakes, the chief of which is Winander-Mere. The corresponding descriptive text for Cumberland, page 7 of the atlas, is:- CUMBERLAND is 75 miles in length from north to south, and upwards of 50 miles in breadth from east to west. It is divided into 5 wards, which contain 1 city, 14 market towns, 60 parishes, 22,445 houses; and its population amounts to 117,230. The air of this county is sharp, and the land, for the most part hilly, feeding large flocks of sheep. The principal productions are coal, lead, lapis callaminaris, and black lead, wild fowl, and salmon. The chief rivers are the Eden and the Derwent. The border text is:- Sends 6 Members to Parlmt. / Carlisle Co. Town, 301 Miles from London. |
