appropriate than a ru

on 



the 



con 



trary, there are some wild and romantic situations, whose rocks 



d;i>hing mountain-streams, or deep umbrageous dells, would 



96em to harmonize with the proud Baronial Tower or Mitred 

 Abbey, " embosom'd high in tufted trees," as tending to asso- 

 ciate the character of the building with that of its native accom- 

 paniment. 



The outline of a building is never so well seen as when in 

 shadow, and opposed to a brilliant sky; or when it is reflected 

 on the surface of a pool: then the great difference betwixt the 



Grecian and Gothic character is more peculiarly striking.
