OBSERVATIONS 



ON 



FOREST SCENERY. 



BOOK III. 



SECTION I. 



WE concluded the lafl: book with a 

 catalogue (for it was little more) 

 ' of the principal forefts, which for- 

 merly overfpread the ifland of Britain. 

 None of them at this day pofTefTes it's 

 original grandeur. A few have preferved 

 fome little appearance of fcenery : but the 

 greater part are waftes. New-foreft in Hamp- 

 (hire is among the few, which have retained 



any ideas of their ancient confequence. 



At leaft it is fuperior to the reft, on account 

 of the extent of it's boundaries ; the variety 

 of it's contents ; and the grandeur of it's 

 fcenes.
