Where the ground is extenfive, and many fcenes can 

 be introduced, they generally adapt each to one fingle 

 point of view ; but where it is confined, and affords no 

 room for variety, they difpofe their objects fo, that being 

 viewed from different points, they produce different re- 

 prefentations; and often fuch as bear no refemblance to 

 each other. They likewife endeavour to place the feparate 

 fcenes of their compofitions in fuch directions as to unite, 

 and be feen all together, from one or more particular 

 points of view, whence the eye may be delighted with an 

 extenfive, rich and variegated profpect. They take all 

 poilible advantage of exterior objects; hiding carefully 

 the boundaries of their own grounds; and endeavouring 

 to make an apparent union between them and the diftant 

 woods, fields and rivers : and where towns, caftles, towers, 

 or any other confiderable objects are in fight, they art- 

 fully contrive to have them feen from as many points, 

 and in as many directions as poffible. The fame they do 

 with regard to navigable rivers, high roads, foot-paths, 

 mills, and all other moving objects, which animate and 

 add variety to the landfcape.
