ROCK-CLIMBING IN THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT
With a Memoir and Portrait of the Author, Thirty-one Full-page Illustrations in Collotype, Ten Outline Plates of the Chief Routes, and Two Appendices by George and Ashley Abraham
G. P. Abraham and Sons Keswick, Cumberland 1911
The rapid exhaustion of the first edition of Mr. OWEN GLYNNE JONES’ book on ‘Rock-climbing in the English Lake District,’ and further numerous enquiries for copies of this unique and invaluable work, induced us to make arrangements for the publication of another issue. A third edition has now become necessary.
Since the first edition appeared in 1897, several important new climbs have been made, most of which have been written about by the author, and are here found just as they left his pen. Of some of the other climbs nothing had been written, so, in response to the request of several climbing friends, two appendices, bringing the book up to date, have been added. The memoir by Mr. W. M. Crook, which is accompanied by an excellent portrait of Mr. Jones, will, we are sure, be welcomed by all as a valuable addition to the work.
