greens, the contrast of forms between our forest trees and the northorn and West-Indian firs and pines, are i provents ore recent than "ont, or but little known to him. The weeping-willow and every flor'i shub, each tree of delicate or bol leaf, are now tints in the caso.tion of our gardens. The last century was certainly acquainted with many of those rare plants we now admiro. The Teymouth pine has long been muturalized hore; the patriarch plant still exists at Longleat. he 1ht and Craceful acacia was !nown as curly; witness those anulont ste. s in the court of Bedford-house in Bloonsbury-square; and in the bishop of london's carden at Fulham are any exotics of vagy melent dute. I doubt therefore whether the difficulty of preaving to in a cli..e so foreign to their nature did not convince our wries tors of their inutility in oncral; unless the s'apeliness of the line and horse-chestnut, which accorded so well with established regularity, and which thence and from their novelty grow in fashion, a not occtalon the neglect of the curious plants.

But just as the enconiun' are that I have bestowed on Kent's discoverics, he was neither without assistance or faults. Ir. Tope undoubtedly contributed to form his taste. The design of the Irince of Tales's Carden at Carlton-house was evidently borrowed from the poot'd at wickenham. here was a little of affected holesty in the latter, when he said, of all his works he vas ost proud of is curden. nd yet it was a singular effort of art are teste to impress so woh variety and scenery on a spot of five acres. The passing trough the gloom fro. the Crotto to the opening day, the retiring and again assebling shades, the dusky Croves, the larger lown, and the solomonity of the terminution at the cypresses that 1 ad up to his other's tomb, ac managed with oxqisite judgment; and though Tord Feterborough assisted him

those were not the most plousin ingredients of is little perspective. I do not know whether the dispositio.. of the garden at Rousham, laid out for General Jormer, and in y opinion the Lost engaging or all Kent's works, was not planned on the moal of r. Fope's, at least in the opening and retiring shades of "onic's vale. The whole in as elegant a d antique as if the onporfor Julian hd polected to Lost pleasing 11Volltude about Daphne to enjoy a philosophic retir ent.
