28 SITUATIONS FOR 



SECTION II. 



ON SITUATIONS FIT FOR FOREST AND 

 GROVE PLANTATIONS. 



I. Of Forests. 



JLOREST plantations are underflood to be extend- 

 ed on a more magnificent fcale than ordinary 

 grove plantations. The more extenfive they are, 

 the higher will their character be exalted. In- 

 deed, the only diftin&ion between a forest and a 

 grove plantation, may be faid to confifl in the ex- 

 tent. We feldom employ the term Forest, un- 

 lefs the trees cover feveral fquare miles ; while 

 every plantation of half an acre and upwards, 

 may be, and generally is, denominated a Grove. 

 Situations for foreft plantations, then, may be ex- 

 tremely various. The country to be planted may 

 be flat, hilly, or mountainous ; or it may confift 

 of a mixture of hills, dales, ravines, crags and 



rocks $
