Some of the chief modes of Incidental 

 beauty, which vary thefe few parts of land- 

 fcape, are thefe : 



In a morning the effed: is often beautiful, 

 when the fun rlfing over the trees of the eaftern 

 bank, pours his Hoping rays upon their tufted 

 heads; while all the bottom of the valley, 

 having not yet caught the fplendor. Is dufky, 

 and obfcure*. 



The effedt ftill continues beautiful, as the 

 fun afcends. Some prominent part of the 

 woody-fkreen always catches the light ; while 

 the recelles among the trees ftill hold the 

 depth of the morning-fhadow. 



The difpofition of the landfcape is as well 

 adapted to receive the effeds of an evening, as 

 of a morning-fun. As all the eaftern fkreen 

 is richly, and pidurefquely wooded, the illu- 

 mination of the trees from the weft is generally 

 pleafmg ; efpeclally as the meadows, de- 

 fcendlng to the eaft, and fouth, and of courfe 

 declining from the fummer-fun, prefent large 

 mafles of fhade. 



But the effecfl of hght is beft feen in an 

 evenins-ftorm, when it rifes from the eaft.
