all fuch artificial objects, as are the mod 

 unlike nature. Whereas the timber-wain is 

 at leaft a piece of fimple art; and the rude- 

 nefs of it's form, and materials, is a property 

 which it has in common with the works of 



nature. Oxen too are more piclurefque in 



themfelves thanhorfes. Much of the beauty 



however of this incident arifes from it's 

 being adapted to the fcene. A wain of tim- 

 ber is beautiful in a foreft, but would lofe 

 much of it's beauty in the ftreets of a town. 



Thus I have enumerated the moft common 

 fources of permanent ; , and Incidental beauty in 

 foreft-landfcape. I have infifted only on the 

 moft common fources. An eye, inquifitive in 

 the fcenes of nature, will inveftigate many 

 others. . Having detained the reader perhaps 

 too long in this examination, I fhall endeavour 

 to relieve him by a few general obfervatiojis 

 on fortji-biftory .
