Excerpt from An Account of the Mining Districts of Alston Moor, Weardale and Teesdale: In Cumberland and Durham; Comprising Descriptive Sketches of the Scenery, Antiquities, Geology, and Mining Operations, in the Upper Dales of the Rivers, Tyne, Wear, and Tees

The features of the scenery in these districts are alike removed from the rich luxuriance of the culti vated low lands of Great Britain, and from the alpine steepness and rugged grandeur of the mountains in the highlands of Scotland and in the vicinage of the Cum berland and Westmoreland Lakes. Those who have visited these celebrated resorts will at least in the mining districts find the charm of novelty, and enter on an entirely new scene of speculation and inquiry.
