DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATE, 

 Thb view represented in the plate which accompa- 

 nies this Number, is taken within an hundred yards 

 of that given in No. 71. of this work. It repre- 

 sents a part of the Water of Leith, winding in a deep 

 rocky dell, overhung with woods. On one side of the 

 river appears a neat temple to Hygeia, reared in the 

 chastest stile of Grecian architecture, by lord Gar- 

 denston, whose name can never be mentioned, in this 

 country, without a particular degree of respect. 

 This temple covers a spring of mineral waters, which 

 proves highly salutary to the inhabitants of Edin- 

 burgh, who now can enjoy the pleasure of an easj 

 walk of half a mile from town, in a delightful rural 

 situation, conjoined with the benefits that are derived 

 from drinking this mild salubrious water. The 

 public spirited owner of this well proposes, for 

 the farther accommodation of the inhabitants, to erect 

 a long-room near the well, which, when finifhed, will 

 render this a delightful place for rural recreation. 



The distant view represents the frith of Forth, 

 with the island of Inchkeith, and the hills of Fife be- 

 yond it.
