CIRCULAR OBJECTS.
Sonic of the stone bridges in the lake districts of
Cumberland and Westmoreland are extremely picturesque.
Thcv are of very rude construction, being in many cases
formed only of loose stones for the passage of sheep and
herds of cattle over small streams; it is, however, from
their very nurircdness that thev derive their interest,
surrounded as they frequently are by scenery of much
grandeur. The sketch below affords a specimen of this
kind of simple and picturesque bridge; it is thrown over
a small stream flowing into West Water, one of the most
picturesque of the Cumberland lakes.
