DR. DARWIN. IOI 



Mr. Sneyd caufed the rough and tangled 

 glen to be cleared and hollowed into one 

 entire balm, which the brook immediately 

 filled with the pureft and mod tranfparent 

 water. Only a very narrow, marginal path 

 is left on each fide, between the water and 

 thofe high woody mountains which ihut 

 the liquid fcene from every other earthly 

 objecl. This lake covers more than five 

 acres, yet is not more than feventy yards 

 acrofs at the broadeft part. The length is, 

 therefore, confiderable. It gradually nar- 

 rows on it's flow, till fuddenly, and with 

 loud noife, it is precipitated down a crag- 

 gy, darkling, and nearly perpendicular fall 

 of forty feet. The ftream then takes its 

 natural channel, lofing itfelf in the fombre 

 and pathlefs woods which ftretch far on- 

 ward. 



While we walk on the brink of this li- 

 quid concave ; while we liften to the roar, 

 with which the tumbling torrent pafles
