 certain combination of natural objects, 

 which, as nearly as the cafe will allow, may

 likewife to point out the difference between

 the difference between both of them, and a 

 fcene of Mr. Brown's.

 therefore premife, that the fimply beautiful 

 fcene 1 fhall attempt to defcribe, is by no 

 means intended to recommend an affected 

 {election of fuch objects as have moft of the
