Not illustrated. 1808 Excerpt: ... SECT. XXII. UR curiosity having been gratified among the dock-yards at Plymouth, led us next to visit Mount Edgcomb. The promontory of Mount Edgcomb running a considerable way into the sea, forms, as was just observed, one of the cheeks of the entrance of Hamoaz-harbour, which is here half a mile across. The whole promontory is four or five miles long, and three broad. In shape it is a perfect dorsum, high in the middle, and sloping gradually on both sides towards the sea; in some places it is rocky and abrupt. Lord Edgcomb's house stands half way up the ascent, on the Plymouth side, in the midst of a park, containing an intermixture of wood and lawn. It makes a handsome appearance with a tower at each comer; but pretends only to be a comfortable dwelling. The great object of Mount Edgcomb is the grandeur of the views. As we advanced towards the summit of the promontory, we saw, in various exhibitions, on one side, all the intricacies and creeks, which form the harbour of Plymouth; with an extensive country spreading beyond it into very remote distance; and scattered with a variety of objects; among which we distinguished the well-known features of Brentor. The other side of the promontory overlooks the Sound, which is. the great rendezvous of the fleets fitted out at Plymouth; though seamen speak very indifferently of its anchorage. One of the boundaries of this extensive bay is a reach of land running out into pointed rocks; the other is a lofty smooth promontory, called the Ram's-head. The top of this promontory is adorned with a tower, from which notice is given at Plymouth, by a variety of signals, of the number of ships, and their quality, that appear in the offing. Between the Ram's-head and Mount Edgcomb is formed a smaller inlet, called Causandbay...
