A diftant foreft-fcene, under this brightened 

 gloom, is particularly rich. The verdure of 

 the fummer leaf, and the varied tints of the 

 autumnal one, are all lighted up with glow- 

 ing colours. 



The internal parts of the foreft, are not fo 

 happily difpofed to catch the effects of a 

 fetting-fun. The meridian ray, we have feen, 

 may dart through the openings at the top, 

 and produce a picture * : but the flanks of the 

 foreft are generally too well guarded againft 

 it's horizontal beams. Sometimes a recefs 

 fronting the weft may receive a beautiful light, 

 fpreading in a lengthened gleam, amidft the 

 gloom of the woods, which furround it : but 

 this can only be had in the out-ikirts of the 

 foreft. Sometimes alfo we find in it's internal 

 parts, tho hardly in it's deep recefTes, fplendid 

 lights, here and there, catching the foliage, 

 which tho in nature generally too fcattered 

 to produce an effect, yet if judicioufly col- 

 lected, may be beautiful on canvas.
