ABSTRACT
As the progress of Sir Edward led him further towards the north, like the magnet he felt a stronger attraction to advance in that direction. He was perpetually comparing Wales with the Alpine heights, and his fancy reduced Snowdon and Plinlimmon 99 to mere hillocks. The lakes of Cumberland were mere duckponds when he recurred to the inland sea of Geneva. – ‘No,’ he exclaimed, ‘it is not in such tame scenes that I must seek objects to fill an imagination used to the magnificent features of Switzerland: these / must be sought in the lofty mountains and interesting forths of the Highlands of Scotland.’
