 certain Impj^over improved would call — 

 Sublimity, — namely, rotten trees; — and 

 so much the better. An object naturally 

 Beautiful, or Grand, is doubly so when it 

 is also useJuL

 distant tendency of such a system, with a 

 view to anticipate the objections to which 

 it may be liable, we do not discover any.
