ESSAY VII. 



DISTANT SCENERY. 



There are many particulars connected with the distant scenery 

 which form part of the view from a villa, over which the Landscape 

 Gardener has no immediate control ; yet such objects and parts as 

 are beautiful should be rendered more conspicuous, while the scenery 

 is surveyed from the house ; and if, in traversing the walks, portions 

 of the distance on which the eye may be invited to repose do not 

 become interesting objects, such may be obscured. 



On the most eligible spots the plantations may form vistas ; and if 

 this be duly considered when the site of the building is selected, the 

 better will be the accordance. Circumstances of importance fre- 

 quently occur in making alterations, which require the felling of 

 large trees : such circumstances deserve most serious consideration
