At Beaulieu therefore we waited till the tide 

 turned, when we again embarked. 



The views in afcending and defcending a 

 river, vary confiderably through it's feveral 

 reaches. Yet the difference, tho obfervable 

 enough, cannot eafily be defcribed. Language 

 wants colours to paint fuch nice diftinciions. 

 We fhall therefore fall down the river with a 

 quicker fail, than we afcended. And yet we 

 muft not leave it's retrofpeft-views entirely 

 unobferved. 



The bay formed by the circling woods in 

 the fecond reach as we defcend, is veiy beau^ 

 tiful. I know not whether it's form is not 

 more pleafmg, than we thought it in the 

 morning. 



The next reach lofes in beauty. A long 

 ftretch of low land fweeping acrofs the river, 

 like a mole, which was lefs obfervable before, 

 now greatly interrupts the beauty of the 

 view. 



The fucceeding bay, where the woods of 

 Exbury open in front, is very grand, and 

 extenfive.
