THE TOURIST'S GUIDE. RIPON. The City of Ripon is situated near the centre of the County of York, in the West Riding, in the Wapentake of Claro. It stands on a slight eminence, gradually rising north and south from the rivers Ure and Skell; over the former of which there is a handsome stone bridge of seventeen arches, 256 yards in length. It is nearly midway between London and Edinburgh, being 212 miles distant from the former, and 191 from the latter city.

The Roman city of Isurium, now the village of Aldburgh, was but seven miles distant from Ripon, so that .we may be assured the advantages and beauties of its situation would not be unknown or undervalued by that people *. The first event connected with this place, of which we have any certain knowledge; was in 661, when Alchfrid, king of Deira, gave to Ee.ta, Abbot of Melross and Lindisfarne, a piece of ground, on which he built a monastery. At this time the town is said to have consisted of but thirty houses. For two centuries after this period, it continued to flourish and increase; but immediately after the coronation of Ethelbert, in 860, the Danes, who for some time had ceased from hostilities, suddenly returned; and, although several times repulsed, they...
