GROTTO is a resting place, formed 

 rudely of rock -work, roots of trees, and 

 shells, and is most appropriately placed 

 beneath the deep shade of woods, and on 

 the margin of water. Its intention is to 

 be a cool retreat during summer.

 GROVE is a moderately extensive asso- 

 ciation of trees without underwood. The 

 most fitting character of a grove is 

 beauty ; for fine trees are lovely objects, 

 and a grove is an assemblage of them, 

 in which every individual retains much 

 of its own peculiar elegance, and what- 

 ever it loses is transferred to the superior 

 beauty of the whole. To a grove, there- 

 fore, which admits of endless variety in 

 the disposition of the trees, differences 

 in their shapes and their greens are sel- 

 dom very important, and sometimes they 



are detrimental. Strong contrasts scatter 

 trees which are thinly planted, and which 

 have not the connexion of underwood; 

 they no longer form one plantation ; they 

 are a number of single trees. A thick 

 grove is not, indeed, exposed to this mis- 

 chief ; and certain situations may recom- 

 mend different shapes and different greens 

 for their effects upon the surface. The 

 eye, attracted into the depth of the grove, 

 passes by little circumstances at the en- 

 trance : even varieties in the form of the 

 line do not always engage the attention : 

 they are not so apparent as in a con- 

 tinued thicket, and are scarcely seen if 

 they are not considerable.
