abuts upon the late residence of White, and forms part of what 
was held, and we believe is still held, along with the lease of 
the house which he occupied. The trees on this are luxuriant, 
but they stand apart or in well-arranged clusters, so that they 
have sufficient relief from the grassy surface. The trees near 
the church conceal most of the village; but the Hanger, the 
more naked part of Selborne Hill, and the Nore Hill beyond, 
come very finely out. The Hanger, which consists of beeches, 
as mentioned by White, exceedingly rich in their foliage, and 
with the shoots so long as at a distance to bear some resemblance \ 
to larches, lies immediately above the lawn or field already men- ; 
tioned, and the extremity of it slants downward towards the | 
church. On the lower part of the hill here, and immediately j 
over the village, there are some larches, which contrast well with ! 
the deeper foliage of the adjoining beeches and the deciduous j 
trees in the village, and also throw back the more naked part of 
Selborne Hill. The scattered trees on the top of this hill are also 
near enough for appearing pencilled on the sky, and the woods 
on Nore Hill are distinct though softened. In short, there is 
nothing but water wanting to render this a very pretty landscape. 
A slight idea of it may be formed from the cut 
We have been somewhat minute in describing this general 
view of the village of Selborne, because this is the only one 
which gives a correct notion of the combined beauties of the place ;
