circled this hill at the bottom, is fwampy, 

 and watered with rivulets, the fituation is 

 fometimes in the winter, rather uncomfortable. 

 When the rains are abundant, the waters ftag- 

 nate fo much around the hill, that it is almoil 

 completely infulated. 



The next fcene we vifited was a foreft- 

 lawn of grand dimenfions, It feemed not 

 lefs than nine or ten miles in circumference ; 

 bounded on eveiy fide, at leaft in appearance, 

 with woods, fome of which were on a level 

 with it, and others on grounds elevated above 

 it. Among thefe latter were the woods of 

 Brokenhurft, adorned with the fpire of the 

 church fhooting above them. The pecu- 

 liarity of this lawn is, that it's vaft area is 

 a perfect flat a form, which tho lefs beau^ 

 tiful than a playing furface, exceeds it in finv 

 plicity, and grandeur. A fmall fat is trivial. 

 It is a mere bowling-green. It has neither 

 beauty in it's parts to fet it off: nor greatnefs 

 in the whole > to make it interefting. A fmall 

 piece of ground therefore mould always be 

 varied. But an extenjive flat like this we are 

 now examining, gives one grand, uniform 



idea.
