leave the fhore, and wind into a woodland 

 country ; which within a few hundred yards 

 from the fea, affumes fo new a character, that 

 we might eafily conceive it to be as many 

 miles from it. In thefe woody fcenes, inter- 

 mixed with open grounds, we continue about 

 four miles; till winding round, we return 

 to thofe rifing grounds on the weft, from 

 whence we firft had the views of the river. 



This boundary- circuit carries us through 

 the fpace of about eight miles. Mr. Mitford 

 has done little, befides marking it out by cut- 

 ting through the woods, as he ihould wifh 

 to lead it. To compleat his plan would be 

 very expeniive ; tho an expence equal to the 

 natural advantages of the fcene in good hands, 

 would make this one of the moft varied, and 

 picturefque wood-land-rides perhaps in Eng- 

 land. 



Within this boundary-circuit, Mr. Mitford 



has marked out an interior one, circling a mile

round his houfe. As the object of the larger 

 circuit, is to ihew, as much as poffible, the 

 extent of his views ; the object of this in- 

 terior one is to break thofe diftant views 

 into parts to form thofe parts into the moft 

 beautiful fcenes -, and to exhibit them with
