First published in 1853, this is a comprehensive guide to the
British Lake District. It features contributions from William
Wordsworth and the geologist Adam Sedgwick, as well as a number of
shorter sections by local experts on subjects such as botany and
toponymy. The first part comprises detailed descriptions of the
major towns and villages of the area, providing recommended routes
and excursions for tourists. This is followed by Wordsworth's
description of the scenery of the Lake District, offering
fascinating observations on the natural formation of the landscape
and the influence of human settlement. The latter part consists of
a series of five letters on the geological structure of the area,
written by Sedgwick between 1842 and 1853. Illustrated with
detailed maps of the area, this is a key text for those interested
in the history of tourism in the Lake District and its development
in the Victorian period.
