Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. Fair seed-time had my soul, and I grew up Fostered alike by beauty and by fear; Much favoured in my birth-place . . . William Wordsworth: The Prelude 1850
'Many years ago, W. G. Collingwood said, of one of the most beautiful parts of Britain, the English Lake District, that its beauty was the result of a thousand years of human occupation. Here is an idea to remember. These amenities, both for mind and for body, are as important as is material production, in marking the progress of mankind.' W. H. Pearsall: 'Conservation as a world problem', Oryx IV, 1958.
Chapter 1. The landscape of the Lake District. He knew beneath the mutation of year and season Flood and drought, frost and fire and thunder, The frothy blossom on the rowan and the reddening of the berries, The silt, the sand, the slagbanks and the shingle, And the wild catastrophes of the breaking mountains, There stands the base and root of the living rock, Thirty thousand feet of solid Cumberland. Norman Nicholson: Duddon
Chapter 2. Geology - the basis of the landscape.
[And so on for all seventeen chapters].

Inledande ord |
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. This volume was first commissioned from Professor W. H. Pearsall, F.R.S., formerly Quain Professor of Botany at University College, London.
Editors' preface. 'There is another Britain, to many of us the better half, a land of mountains and moorlands and of sun and cloud, and it is with this upland Britain that these pages are concerned.'
Author's preface. Since in this book reference will be made from time to time to W. G. Collingwood's book The Lake Counties, which Hugh Walpole considered included 'the grandest prose writing about the Lake District in existence', it is perhaps permissible to begin by quoting its opening paragraph.

Avslutande ord |
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. We who have written this book have tried to portray the land of the Lake District as a community to which men have belonged for five thousand years, and to show how it is one of the treasured parts of Britain which has so far been fortunate enough to have been used with love and respect.
