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.
