Excerpt from Views in North Wales, From Original DrawingsThe Signs of a glacier are so evident in Cwm Llydaw that it is needless to describe all the details. At the out¿ow of the lake there are moraine-like mounds, formed of earthy matter, stones, and angular and subangular blocks, which even now partly dam up the lake, and when I first knew it, raised it to a still higher level, ere the channel of the brook was sacrilegiously deepened to lower the water, for the sake of saving a few pounds in the construction of an ugly causeway. Close to the out¿ow, the once beautiful little islets of rock, feathered with heath and grasses, are now united to the mainland, and a broad ugly black rim round the lake marks alike the extent of the drainage and the barbarism of the perpetrators of this unhappy outrage on the most beautiful scene in Wales.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
