LIVERPOOL, FROM THE MERSEY.
Liverpool is the exporting outlet for the great manufacturing districts of England, and the largest city in England next to London; if Birkenhead be included, its exports surpass even those of the metropolis. Liverpool itself is on the north bank of the Mersey, about eight miles above its mouth, where the estuary is three-quarters of a mile broad, regularly travelled by the Birkenhead steam ferry boat shown in the view. A tunnel under the Mersey was completed in 1886. The docks extend seven or eight miles along the river-bank, and are surrounded by immense warehouses. The "pool" from which its name was derived occupied the spot now covered by the Custom House and adjacent buildings. In 1880 it was constituted a bishopric, St. Peter's being made the cathedral church.
