eration of proportion, between the object, and the spot it is intended to occupy;, and if the desired offect can be at ained by a single treo, the simplicity of the moans recomiends it.

C lines they traco are fainter than those wich larger plantations describe but then their forms are their own; they are therefore absolutely free from all appearance of art; any disposition of them, if it be but irrecular, is sure to be natural.

Their situations will also frequently determine the specios: if they are placed before a continued line of wort, only to break it, they should commonly be similar to the trees in that wood; they will also lose their connexion, and not affect the outline which they are intended to vary; but if they are designed to ho indopendent objects, they are as such more discemible whon listinguished both in their shapes and their greens from any plantations about them. After all, the choice, especially in large scones, is not confined to tho trees on the spot; young clumps from the first have some, and soon produce a considerable effect; but a young single tree for many years bus none at all; and it is often more judicious to preserve one already ing, though not exactly such as might be wished, either 1 itself, or in in its situation, than to plant in its stead another, which may be iner object, and better placed, in a distant Puturity.
