for it does not rise quite to a point, and the want. seems a blemish. Whether such a mixture of contrariet length of time be engaging can be known only to those w. to the spot. It certainly at first sight rivets the atte conical hill is the most striking object; in such a situat. more strange, more fantastic, than the rude shapes which are it; and together they suit the character of the place, where to have delighted to bring distances together; where two rivers ingulphed many miles asunder, issue from thoir subterraneous pas. the one often muddy when the other is clear, within a few paces of other; but they appear, only to lose themselves again, and immediat unite their streams, just in ti e to fall together into another curre which also runs through the garden. Suah whimsical wonders, however, their effect, when represented in a picture, or mimicked in round arti ficially laid. They there want that vastness which constitutes their force; that reality which ascertains the caprice. As accidents they may surprise; but they aare not objects of choice.

XI. To determine choice to its proper objects is the purpose of the foregoing observations. Some of the principles unon which they are founded will be applicable also, and perhaps without further explanation, to the other constituent parts of the scenes of nature: t cy will thoro be often more obvious than in ground. But this is not a place for the comparison; the subject now is ground only. It is not, however, foreign to that subject to observe, that the effects which have been recommended may sometimes be produced by wood alone, without any alteration in the Cround itself: a tedious continued line may by such means be broken; it is usual for this purpose to place several little clumps along a brow; but if they are small and numerous, the artifice is weak and apparent: an equal number of trees collected into one or two large masses, and dividing the line into very unequal parts, is les suspicious, and obliterates the idea of sameness with more cortainty. hore several similar lines are seen together, if one be planted, and th other bare, they become contrasts to each other. A hollow in certain situations has been mentioned as a disagreeable interruption in a continued surface; but filled with wood, the heads of the trees supply the vacancy; the irregularity is proserved; even the inequalities of the depth are in some measure shown; and a continuation of surface is provided. Rising ground may, on the other hand, be in appearance raised still higher, by covering it with wood, of h mble growth towards the bottom, and gradually taller as it ascends. An additional mark of the inclination of falling ground may also be obtained by placing a few trees in the same direction, which will strongly point out the way; whereas plantations athwart a descent, baaster up the ground, and check the fall; but obliquely crossing it, they will often divert the general tendency; the ground will in some measure assume their direction, and they will make a variety, not a cont adiction. Hedges, or continued plantations, carried over uneven ground, render the irregularity more conspicuous, and frequently mark little inequaliti os, which would otherwise escape observation: of if a line of trees run close upon the edge of an abrupt fall, they give it depth and importance. By such means a view may be improved; by similar means, in more confined spots, very material purposes may be answered.
