In the following pages the reader will find a narrative of a few of the romantic stories the Lake district affords. The district, it is true, is not particularly rich in historical incidents; nor has it been the scene of many great events; yet, it has been justly said by a popular writer, what it wants in history it more than makes up in poetry. The interest of a country abounding in spots the most attractive in themselves, is greatly enhanced by the local associations attaching to it, its connection with bygone days, be they of the historical or legendary kind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
