lord Stawel's) in the middle of Holt-foreft, a 

 lawn unvaried by a fmgle fwell, is yet varied 

 with clumps of different forms, receding behind 

 each other, in fo pleafing a manner, as to 

 make an agreeable fcene. 



By thefe obfervations I mean only to mew, 

 that in whatever part of a park a houfe may 

 have been originally placed, it can hardly have 

 been placed fo awkwardly, but that, in fome 

 way or other, the fcenery may be happily 

 adapted to it. There are fome fituations indeed 

 fo very untoward, that fcarce any remedy can 

 be applied : as when the front of a houfe 

 immediately urges on a rifing ground. But 

 fuch awkward fituations are rare j and in, 

 general, the variety of landfcape is fuch, that 

 it may almoft always be brought in one form, 

 or other, to ferve the purpofes of beauty. 

 The many improvements of the ingenious Mr. 

 Brown, in various parts of England, bear 

 witnefs to the truth of thefe obfervations. 

 The beauty however of park-fcenery is un- 

 doubtedly beft difplayed on a varied furf ace 

 where the ground fwells, and falls where 

 hanging lawns, ikreened with wood, are con- 

 nected with vallies and where one part is 

 continually playing in contraft with another.
