from fifty to feventy-two feet high, and with moft amazing rapidity. Hogs, which 
feed along the fhores, are much more fenfible of its approach than mankind : 
they are obferved to liften, to prick up their ears for fome time, and then 
faddenly to run off at full fpeed. 
The coafts are, in general, rude and rocky, with fome variations ; but in 
many places exhibit moft piGturefque fcenery. All the northern fide is high, 
red, and rocky. The ifles of Canfo are varied with many low white rocks. From 
them to Torbay is a feries of lofty coaft, broken and white. Beaver Harbour is 
guarded by moft picturefque rounded ifles. South fhore of Chebué¥o fteep: the 
plaifter cliffs in George Bay are remarkable for their precipitous face and white- 
nefs. Sable or Sand Ifland is diftinguiflied (as the name imports) by amazing 
fand-hills of a fugar-loaf form. ‘The ifle of Great MZanan, on the weftern fide. 
of the entrance of the bay of Fundy, is very lofty, the ftrata divided, and the 
top wooded. St. Mary’s Bay is nobly bounded by high rocks, cloathed on their 
fummits with woods: the entrance into it are the Grand and Petit Paffage ; the fides 
of the laft are either covered with hanging woods, floping to the water-edge, or 
broke into fhort precipices. ‘The entrance into the fine harbour of 4nnapolis is 
moft auguft: a narrow gut, bounded by enormous precipices, with lofty hills 
foaring above, the tops of which are even and cloathed with woods. The 
approach to the bafon of AZinas is not lefs magnificent. The columnar rocks 
of Cape Split are very fingular. The ifle of Haute is lofty and fteep on every 
fide. The whole neighborhood abounds with views of the moft fublime and 
romantic caft. This peninfula joins the great continent by a very narrow 
ifthmus, beyond which we retain a wretched barren remnant of near half of the 
New World; the fad reverfe of the fhort fpace of twenty years !—My eyes 
withdraw themfelves from the mortifying fight. Briparn, which fate (by the 
wifdom of one man) as the Queen of Nations, now deplores her folly ; and 
ought to confefs, that ‘ thofe things which were for her wealth, proved to her 
‘ an occafion pf falling.” She funk under the delufion of profperity, by falfe 
fecurity, and the pride of victories. If fhe makes a proper ufe of adverfity, 
fhe ftill may rife into glory and wealth, by honeft induftry, and by the repreffion 
of rapacity and fordid ambition.—Once more, gracious Heaven, endeavour to 
fave an ungrateful people! once more raife up fome great inftrument to execute 
thy mercies !—Pour with. full meafure into our youthful Minifter the virtues 
of his father !—Emulate, young Man, his virtues, and then—
