For it does not rise quite to a point, and the want of perfect r seems a blemish. Whether such a mixture of contrarieties would Length of time be engaging can be known only to those who are ha Go the spot. It certainly at first sight rivets the attention. conical hill is the most striking object; in such a situation it more strange, more fantastic, than the rude shapes which are hea it; and together they suit the character of the place, where nat to have delighted to bring distances together; where two rivers, ingulphed many miles asunder, issue from their subterraneous pas the one often muddy when the other is clear, within a few paces other; but they appear, only to lose themselves again, and immed unite their streams, just in time to fall together into another which also runs through the garden. Suah whimsical wonders, how their effect, when represented in a picture, or mimicked in grou ficially laid. They there want that vastness which constitutes force; that reality which ascertains the caprice. As accidents surprise; but they aare not objects of choice.

XI. To determine choice to its proper objects is the purpose foregoing observations. Some of the principles upon which they founded will be applicable also, and perhaps without further expl to the other constituent parts of the scenes of nature: they wil often more obvious than in ground. But this is not a place for parison; the subject now is ground only. It is not, however, fo to that subject to observe, that the effects which have been rece may sometimes be produced by wood alone, without any alteration ground itself: a tedious continued line may by such means be bro is usual for this purpose to place several little clumps along a but if they are small and numerous, the artifice is weak and appa equal number of trees collected into one or two large masses, and ing the line into very unequal parts, is less suspicious, and ob the idea of sameness with more certainty. Where several similar seen together, if one be planted, and the other bare, they becom trasts to each other. A hollow in certain situations has been m as a disagreeable interruption in a continued surface; but filled wood, the heads of the trees supply the vacancy; the irregularity served; even the inequalities of the depth are in some measure si and a continuation of surface is provided. Rising ground may, o other hand, be in appearance raised still higher, by covering it wood, of humble growth towards the bottom, and gradually taller ascends. An additional mark of the inclination of falling ground be obtained by placing a few trees in the same direction, which strongly point out the way; whereas plantations athwart a descent up the ground, and check the fall; but obliquely crossing it, the often divert the general tendency; the ground will in some measu their direction, and they will make a variety, not a contradicti Hedges, or continued plantations, carried over uneven ground, re irregularity more conspicuous, and frequently mark little inequal which would otherwise escape observation: of if a line of trees upon the edge of an abrupt fall, they give it depth and importan such means a view may be improved; by similar means, in more cont spots, very material purposes may be answered.
