 were prefented with a longer reach ; fome- 

 times with a fudden turn : and the beauty 

 generally arofe from feeing little removed 

 clumps of wood, in Waterlo's ftile, varioully 

 rifmg behind one or two ftately trees on the 

 fore-ground, whofe dark branches gave their 

 inliehtened foliage effedt. Other varieties are 

 introduced by the interfeBions of roads j and

 trees, or bufhes of under-wood ; 



Where frequent tufts of holly, box, or thorn,
