	Print, soft ground etching, Helvellyn, from the Foot of Leathes Water, ie Thirlmere, St John's Castlerigg and Wythburn, Cumberland, by William Green, Ambleside, Westmorland, 1809. Plate 28 in Sixty Studies from Nature, 1810.
	No. 28. HELVELLYN, FROM THE FOOT OF LEATH'S WATER. Wyburn Water, Thril Mere, or Leath's Water, has its latter name from the family of Leath, who have long resided at Dalehead, a venerable edifice on the banks of the lake. This view is from a part of the road immediately west of the foot of the lake, and Helvellyn, as seen from it, is of a more interesting figure than is displayed by it from other situations; its neighbouring summits being high, leave generally but little of the mountain to the view of the spectator, particularly from Coniston Water, Windermere, and Ulls Water. The woods on the opposite banks of the lake are the property of John Stanger Leath, Esq. and his house is seen amongst them. - Between these woods and the high mountains, winds the road from Keswick to Ambleside; and the mile-stone six and ten is not far distant from the house, and immediately beyond it from the eye.
