 | | The principal fisheries are those of salmon and sewin,which latter fish is found only in those rivers of the county flowing from the north or east to the south or west; and among these the Ogmore is the most celebrated for the abundance and fine flavour of its fish of both these species. |
 | | The principal rivers are the Taf, the Tawe or Tawy, the Nedd or Neath, the Llychwyr or Loughor, and the Rhymni or Romney : the banks of these, and of the numerous smaller streams of the mountains, are in most places distinguished for the picturesque grandeur or rich beauty of their scenery. |
 | | Here also it crosses the river Taf by a handsome stone aqueduct, and is received into a spacious basin, surrounded by commodious wharfs, where the canal company's business is transacted, and their principal agent resides. |
