commands extensive prospects; the wa-
ter of the sulphur wells at Low Har-
rogate possesses, indisputably, very
powerful qualities, and has been found
highly efficacious in scorbutic and scro-
fulous diseases; it is used also by way
of bath or fomentation. Its taste is nau-
seous, resembling a composition of gun-
powder and rotten eggs. The season
at Harrogate begins in May and ends
in October; the various accommoda-
tions and recreations common at the
most fashionable watering places, are
found here in great abundance, such as
a race ground, assembly rooms, pro-
menade room, lodging houses, theatre,
hotels, billiard tables, libraries, and
chapels: a saline chalybeate water, re-
sembling that of Cheltenham, was dis-
covered at High Harrogate, in 1819,
whicb is daily growing into repute. The
resort of company to Harrogate during
the season is very numerous, and con-
sists frequently of persons of the highest
distinction.

pulture of the renowned Robin Hood,
who, according to tradition, applying to
be let blood, was, by the treachery of
the prioress, suffered to bleed to death :¹
the spot pointed out as his grave, is be-
yond the precinct of the nunnery: an
inscription preserved by Dr. Gale, is
obviously of a later date than this out-
law’s death, which occurred in 1247, but
an ancient grave-stone, marked with a
