[Descriptive Remarks]
[height in - struck out] the neighbourhood
applies almost literally to this.-
"Looking from the Summit of
Carco height or from the Bale Hill,
northward & westerly, nothing is to be
seen but brown moorlands, stretch-
-ing on and on in the distance, af-
-fording a bleak and weary pros-
-pect as far as the eye can reach,
- dreary solitudes and immense
tracks of lonely wastes, with only
here and there a shepherd's hut,
the Existence of which afar in the
wilds is indicated by the curling
smoke that issues like a blue
column aloft into the air,"
