Lays and Legends of the English Lake Country / With Copious Notes
LAYS AND LEGENDS OF THE ENGLISH LAKE COUNTRY.
WITH COPIOUS NOTES.
BY JOHN PAGEN WHITE, F.R.C.S.
In early date, When I was beardless, young, and blate, E'en then a wish, I mind its power, A wish that to my latest hour Shall strongly heave my breast; That I for poor auld Cumbria's sake, Some usefu' plan or beuk could make, Or sing a sang at least.
LONDON: JOHN RUSSELL SMITH. CARLISLE: G. & T. COWARD. MDCCCLXXIII.
In submitting this Book to the Public, I have thought it best to give it precisely as it was left in manuscript by my late Brother. His sudden death in 1868 prevented the final revision which he still contemplated.
The Notes may by some be thought unnecessarily long, and in many instances they undoubtedly are very discursive. Much labour, however, was expended in their composition, in the hope, not merely of giving a new interest to localities and incidents already familiar to the resident, but also of affording the numerous visitors to the charming region which forms the theme of the Volume, an amount of information supplementary to the mere outline which, only, it is the province of a Guide Book, however excellent, to supply.
