eluding some miles in length, is occasion- 

 ally varied and enriched by caves and 

 cells, hovels, and covered seats, or other 

 buildings, in perfect harmony with the 

 wild but pleasing horrors of the scene. 

 Yet, if the same picturesque objects were 

 introduced in the gardens of a villa near 

 the capital, or in the more tame yet in- 

 teresting pleasure grounds which I am 

 frequently called upon to decorate; they 

 would be as absurd, incongruous, and out 

 of character, as a Chinese temple from 

 Vauxhall transplanted into the vale of 

 Down ton, 



" Whate'er its essence, or whate'er its namCj 

 Whate'er its modesj 'tis still in all the same; 

 'Tis just congruity of parts combin'd 

 Must please the sense, and satisfy the mind."
