which winds at ics feet-, it has a magnificent 

 appearance. 



Advancing a little further, through a winding 

 walk, you come to a grotto, from which the fcene 

 is beautifully pidurefque. You look allant upon 

 a natural cafcade, which falls in gradual flieets 

 above 40 fset, m the midfb of hanging wood ; 

 it is quite furrounded by the trees, and feems to 

 gulli forth by enchantment : The water is clear 

 and tranfparent, and throws a moving luftre to 

 the eye, inexprelTibly elegant : The motion of it 

 pleafes not only from its genuine beauty, but 

 from the peculiar hapoinefs of fituation, viewed 

 from a woody retired fpot, which contrails fo 

 well the brilliancy of the objed. 



But thofe touches of reality, which exceed 

 the utmoft: efforts of painting, thicken upon 

 us ; for leaving this agreeable fpot, we prefently 

 came to another, from whence you fee a 

 beautiful natural cafcade, gulhing, to ap- 

 pearance, out of a cavern in the rock, over- 

 hung with thick wood, and falling from one 

 crag to anotiier, till it lofes itfcif among th« 

 adjoining woods. 



You move next to a bench, where you are 

 again entertained by tlie fame cafcade, viewed in 

 a different dircdcion, with the addition of its 

 trickling at your feet over the grafs, beautifully 

 fcattered with trees : Through them, in front, is 

 a line opening over a hollow of hanp;ing woods. 

 To the right you look down through another 

 natural opening among tlie trees, and catch 

 the river running rapidly over the rocks. No- 

 thing can exceed the tafte, variety, and beauty 

 of this landfcape.
