Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ...thick, more than eight feet deep. Poor Hart, I see, is sadly cut down. These are the facts. You know the fork above the mills, thus--1. Newnham mills. 2. Queen's mills. 3. Spot where Hart bathing. 4. Spot where Matthews was drowned. 5. Freshmen's pool. 6. Course of the river towards Grandchester. Matthews had gone to bathe solo.
