New-forefl, which is precifely of this kind. 

 It's lawns and woods are every where divided 

 by large difl:rid:s of heath. Many of thefe 

 woods have formerly been, as many of the 

 heaths at prefent are, of vafl: extent -, run- 

 ning feveral miles without interruption. Dif- 

 ferent parts too both of the open, and of the 

 woody country, are fo high, as to command 

 extenfive diflances, tho no part can in any 

 degree allume the title of mountainous. 



Along the banks of the Avon, from 

 Ringwood to the fea, the whole furface is 

 flat, inclofed, and cultivated. There is little 

 beauty in this part. Eaftward from Chrifl- 

 church, along the coaft, as far as to the 

 eftuary of Lymington- river we have alfo a 

 continued flat. Much heathy ground is in- 

 terfperfed ; but no woody fcenery, except 

 in fome narrow glen, through which a ri- 

 vulet happens to find it's way to the fea. In 

 two or three of thefe there is fome beauty.

the ocean, and formed by the violence of 

 ftorms, is edged by a broken cliff, from 

 which are prefented grand fea-views, fome-
