GROVE, is a moderately extensive 

 association of trees without underwood. 

 The most fitting character of a grove 

 is beauty ; for line trees are lovely ob- 

 jects, and a grove is an assemblage of 

 them, in which every individual retains 

 much of its own peculiar elegance, and 

 whatever it loses is transferred to the 

 superior beauty of the whole. To a 

 grove, therefore, which admits of end- 

 less variety in the disposition of the 

 trees, differences in their shapes and 

 their greens are seldom 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 mischief, and 

 certain situations may recommend dif- 

 ferent 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
