This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...formerly, although now obsolete. It was worked by an up and down process. Kist. A chest. Icel. kista, a chest. Old oak kists and cupboards are to be found very generally in old farmhouses in Cumberland and the Lake district; they are very curiously and laboriously carved with the initials of the family to which they have originally belonged, with various flourishes and devices, and dates ranging from 1600 or thereabouts, to 1800 are carved upon them. A gentleman, Mr. Collingwood, who is well versed in wood carving, has assured me that some of the curious letters carved upon them are unmistakably Norse. Eel kist was the term applied by the monks of the Abbey in Holm Cultram to the pond near the river Waver in which they kept their eels alive.

The word is of frequent occurrence both in Norway and Lakeland. The Knott, Benson Knott, Knott End, Hard Knott, Harte Knot (=the hard knot) in Norway; and the idea seems to be taken from the close resemblance which some mountains bear to the round of the knuckles. 'Hnuta is frequently applied to the tops of mountains in Eastern Iceland, which resemble the knob of the " femur" which moves in the socket of the hip-bone.'--Magnusson. Kurn-supper.
