It stood on the edge of a gorge, crowning one of its stony hills of no great height. With scarce a tree to shelter it, the situation was very cold in winter, and it required a hardy breeding to live there in comfort.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
