The belt you have fo accurately defcribed, 

 " of one uniform breadth, with a drive as 

 " uniform, ferpentining through the middle 

 " of it," is, I believe, what, with little dif- 

 ference, has been moft generally made ; and 

 it anfwers perfectly to its name. But fuch a 

 plantation as you afterwards have propofed, of 

 * various breadths, and its outline adapted to 

 " the natural fhape of the ground," is hardly 

 a belt, or at leaft is not Mr. Brown's belt, 

 and 1 criticifed what had been, not what 

 might be, made. I am very ready to ac- 

 knowledge the great fuperiority of fuch a 

 belt; a fuperiority which encreafes, as it 

 grows more unlike the thing it is named 

 from: but ftill you mult excufe me if I 

 fuggeft (not indeed by way of uricl argu- 

 ment)
