MOUNT'S BAY
AND
THE LAND's END.
INTRODUCTION.
_Of the Mount's Bay, and the Land's End District._
At the most western extremity, and in the lowest latitude of Great
Britain, is situated this delightful and justly celebrated Bay. It is
bounded by an irregularly curved outline of many miles in extent, the
extreme points of which constitute the well known promontory of the
"_Lizard_," and the singular headland, "_Tol-Pedn-Penwith_," near the
"_Land's End_."
