all fuch artificial objeds, as are the moil 

 unlike nature. Whereas the timber- wain is 

 at leail a piece of fimple art -, and the rude- 

 nefs of it's form, and materials, is a property, 

 which it has in common with the works of 



nature. Oxen too are more pi&urefque in 



themfelves than horfes. Much of the beauty 



however of this incident arifes from it's 

 being adapted to the fcene. A wain of tim- 

 ber is beautiful in a foreil, but would lofe 

 much of it's beauty in the flreets of a town. 



Thus I have enumerated the moil common 

 fources of permanent, and incidental beauty in 

 foreil-landfcape. I have iniiiled only on the 

 moil common fources. An eye, inquiiitive in 

 the fcenes of nature, will inveiligate many 



others. Having detained the reader perhaps 



too long in this examination, I ihall endeavour 

 to relieve him by a few general obfervations 

 on forejl-biftory.
