horizon, (as in thefe fituations the bafe is 

 commonly loft in the varieties of the ground) 

 a little variation in the line, which forms 

 the fummit, fo as to break any difagreeable 

 regularity there, will be fufficient. 



As a large tradl of wood requires a few 

 large clumps to conned it gently with the 

 plain > fo thefe large clumps themfelves require 

 the fame fervice from a fingle tree, or a few 

 trees, according to their fize. 



Thefe obfervations refpedt chiefly the vaft 

 fcenes of nature, which are but little under 

 the controul of art. While they affift us 

 however in judging of the natural fcene, they 

 are in many refpe&s applicable to the em- 

 bellimed one. To the painter's ufe, they are 

 moft adapted ; whofe bufinefs it is to introduce 

 his trees in the happieft manner ; whether 

 he fpread them over his canvas in vaft woods ; 

 or break them into fmaller, or larger com- 

 binations.
