STOCK GILL FORCE.
The beauties of this admired water-fall are in a great
degree lost to the generality of visitors, because they only
see it from the foot-path, skirting the top of a bank which
rises to a great height, and almost perpendicularly from the
bottom of the channel; and the spectator looks down upon the
scene, rather than upwards or horizontally; his view of the
water is likewise considerably impeded by wood, of which
there is a redundancy.
...
The scene which has been engraved for this work, is made on
the margin of the stream, immediately under the usual stand;
but from several other points the materials will be found to
combine with an equal, if not superior interest, should
parts be preferred to a general view.
