will never have meat here, they should be imme- 

 diately turned over to the other side, and part of the 

 expensive paling taken to enclose this bank in a tem- 

 porary way, as described. Indeed it will be found a 

 very difficult task to keep the deer out of the other 

 side. If any planting was to be in the side above 

 the waterfall, it should be enclosed singly as on the 

 other side, so as the deer may have the whole range 

 on both sides, except this bank, and this too, if at- 

 tended to, after the first twelve years at longest. 

 Keep all the alders on both sides of the river for or- 

 nament as long as they will stand up. Observe, that 

 in coppicing this side there must always be a number 

 of standard trees kept in it, say at sixty feet, tree 

 from tree ; this will always keep up its look as a plan- 

 tation of ornamental trees, and the coppice or under- 

 wood covering the rugged surface, which to cut every 

 twenty years will also be very profitable. The truly 

 bold and sublime prospect which this park, as it is 

 called, presents to a stranger entering its gates, with 

 the lofty grandeur of the fine trees mounting to the 

 top of the hills on both sides, together with the wa- 

 terfall, cannot fail to make the contemplative mind 

 pause and admire.

Here is an exceeding fine, although small spot of 

 natural coppice wood, unfortunately chiefly birch ; 

 but where there are oak growths, although they have
