Of meanly furnished, we shall soon leave 

 it M'ith disgust; whether it be a room co- 

 vered with the finest green baize, or a 

 lawn kept with the most exquisite ver- 

 dure, we look for carpets in one, and 

 flowers in the other. 



If in its unfurnished state there chance 

 to be a looking glass without a frame, it 

 can only reflect the bare Myalls; and thus 

 a pool of water, without surrounding ob- 

 jects, reflects only the nakedness of the 

 scene. This similitude might be extended 

 to all the articles of furniture, for use or 

 ornament, required in an apartment, com- 

 paring them with the seats and buildings 

 and sculpture appropriate to a garden. 

 Its Thus the pleasure-ground at Woburn 



requires to be enriched and furnished like 

 its palace, where good taste is every where 

 conspicuous. It is not by the breadth or 

 length of the walk that greatness of cha- 

 racter in garden scenery can ever be sup- 

 ported; it is rather by its diversity, and 

 the succession of interesting objects. In 

 this part of a great place we may ven- 

 ture to extract pleasure from variety^
