inscription:- caption: printed introductory pages to set of prints
Numbers 53, 54, 55, 56, are various studies made in Rydal Park. In the springs are valuable foreground materials, some at the roots of trees; 55, and 56, are two of them. Rydal Park is a fine spot for study : The trees are majestic; and the lakes of Windermere and Rydal, in composition with the wood and mountains, exhibit some very extraordinary pictures. Some years ago it was the opinion of gentlemen who had been in many parts of the united kingdom and on the continent, that they had seen nothing equal to Rydal Park. Although a great deal of the wood has recently been cut down; it is even at present a charming place. The writer has enjoyed much pleasure in contemplating the scenes of Rydal Park, and is grateful for the privilege of studying there. He has frequently been in the Park from ten to twelve hours without seeing a human being.
