round, which fhapes the lower part of them 

 into a fort of femi-circular valley. To the 

 hanging woods of this very pifturefque bank, 

 a clofe, defcending walk from the houfe, fol- 

 lowing the direction of the foreft-boundary, 

 unites the garden. 



The woody bank, which is the grand 

 circumftance of the view, having thus circled 

 the meadows, falls away towards the eftuary 

 of the river j and becomes one of it's high 

 inclofures. On the other fide it is interfered 

 by rifmg ground, on which ftands the town 

 of Lymington at the diftance of a mile*. 

 Over the dip, formed by this interfe6lion, 

 rifes, as if fitted for the place, a lofty part of 

 the ifle of Wight j from which a ridge of 

 high land continues, palling over the town 

 as a back-ground. Below the ifland appears 

 a fmall catch of the channel : but the inter- 

 vening woods of the eaftern fkreen have now 

 almoft intercepted it ; interpofmg one beau- 

 tiful circumftance in the room of another.
