 &;c. and hanging to the water's edge In the 

 mofl charming variety of fituation; the 

 £elds in Ibme places dipping in the very 

 lake, in others thick woods rifing from the 

 water ; fcenes which call for the pencil of a 

 genius to catch graces from nature beyond 

 the reach of the moft elaborate art. 



Coming to Ling Ho/m, a fmall rocky 

 ifland, with a few trees on it, you have a 

 double view of the two fhores, finely con- 

 trafted, the weftern fpread with noble 

 hanging woods ; and the eaftern one culti- 

 vated hills, waving to the eye in the finefl 

 inequalities of furface. The diftant hills are 

 alfo feen in a bold flile over the low in- 

 dlofures of Raw/m/ons Na^, a promontory 

 to the fouth. 



Landing on the point of that promontory 

 the view is very noble, it commands two 

 glorious fheets of water, north and fouth, 

 each of four or five miles in length. That 

 to the fouth is bounded in general by rough 

 woody hills, broken in a few fpots by little 

 inclofures : In front of the promontory, fe- 

 veral very beautiful ones, cut by irregu- 

 lar fweeps of wood, and hanging to the 

 water's edge in the fincft manner ^ the 

 whole crowned with craggy tops of hills.
