Sivu 27 - Caledonia ! stern and wild, meet nurse for a poetic child, • land of brown heath and shaggy wood, land of the mountain and the flood, land of my sires!
Sivu 19 - Through the high wood echoing shrill : Some time walking, not unseen, By hedge-row elms, on hillocks green, Right against the eastern gate Where the great sun begins his state, Robed in flames, and amber light The clouds in thousand liveries dight ; While the ploughman, near at hand, Whistles o'er the furrow'd land, And the milkmaid singeth blithe, And the mower whets his sithe, And every shepherd tells his tale Under the hawthorn in the dale.

Sivu 77 - Wells, while at Well Walk, Hampstead, a chalybeate spring was utilised until quite recently. The first conduit for the supply of water to London was that of Tyburn, which was completed in 1239, when water was conveyed in leaden pipes to the City. Much water was also obtained in buckets from the river, and in 1582 the supply was facilitated by means of water-wheels attached to the arches of old London Bridge. After a while wooden conduits were used, and a more extended system of supply to houses was...
