in an Englifh foreft. In fmall patches it is 

 frequent. We often fee a few thorns intangled, 

 and knit clofe together, ftanding out on a 

 foreft-lawn, forming fome pleafing, irregular 

 fhape, and frequently adorned with an oak, 

 or two ; which, from fome cafual acorn, 

 having ftruggled, by the force of vegetation, 

 through the interflices of the thicket, gives 

 dignity to what before was only a bum. Of 

 thefe trees fuch thickets are often the fatellites.
