GIGGLESWICK, (Yorkshire, W.R.) half a m. from Settle, stands on the r. Ribble; where, at the foot of a mountain, is a
spring, the most noted in England for ebbing and flowing sometimes thrice in an hour, and the water subsides 3 quarters of
a yard at the reflux, though the sea is 30 m. off. At this T. is an eminent free grammar-sc. founded by one Mr. Bridges,
and well endowed; and in the neighbourhood are flags, slate, and stone, with a good lime-kiln.
