objects from the grand ftore-houfe of nature j 

 tho we condefcend to admit artificial objects 

 alfo -, but when they are admitted in this 

 clafs, they muft always be of the rough, rather 

 than of the polifhed kind. 



Such objects we often meet with in the wild 

 fcenes of the foreft, fpires, towers, lodges, 

 bridges, cattle-fheds, cottages, winding pales, 

 and other things of the fame kind ; which 

 have often as beautiful an effect, when feen 

 at a diftance, as we have juft obferved they 

 have, when fparingly met with in the internal 

 parts of a foreft. Only the nearer the object 

 is, we expect it's form muft be the more pic- 

 turefque. Diftance, no doubt, hides defects ; 

 and many an objecl: may appear well in a 

 remove, which brought nearer, would difguft 

 the eye.
