On The Borders Of Lancashire And Westmoreland, Two Centuries Since,
Stood Lynnwood, A Picturesque Mansion, Still Retaining Something Of
The Character Of A Fortified House. It Was Ever A Matter Of Regret
To Its Owner, Sir Marmaduke Carstairs, That His Grandfather Had So
Modified Its Construction, By Levelling One Side Of The Quadrangle,
And Inserting Large Mullion Windows In That Portion Inhabited By
The Family, That It Was In No Condition To Stand A Siege, In The
Time Of The Civil War.
