Number 61. It is the opinion of several people of acknowledged taste, that the mountains of Langdale afford to the eye, from many parts of the vale, a greater variety of fine forms than the mountains surrounding any other valley here. One of the conical-topped pikes, and a grand surface of rock called Gimmer Crag, are the principal features of the scene before us. The drawing was made at a little distance from Wall End, which is about nine miles from Ambleside.
