KIRKBY-LONSDALE, a town of Westmorland, 233 miles from London. It is a large place, with a woollen manufactory, and a market on Tuesday. It has a free school well endowed, with three presentations to Christ's college Cambridge. It has a large church, and a good stone bridge of three arches over the Lon. From its churchyard and the banks of the river, there is a very fine prospect of the mountains at a vast distance, as well as of the course of the river, which abounds with salmon, trout, &c. and provisions of all sorts are very cheap here.
