land scenery as a painter would have been delighted to study and to 
depict. There was no mark of artificial regularity—no right lines—no 
circles, or other regular figures; all was the effect of time and acci¬ 
dent. Majestic trees were associated with some of their own stripling 
progeny, and these accompanied by tufts of blooming furze and broom. 
The intricate play of the intervening turf, the various altitude of the 
trees, and the gradations of higher and lower thorns, holly, and juniper 
springing from among the decayed and living ferns, formed in all direc¬ 
tions scenes which, when enlivened by the bounding deer, were worthy 
of a Gainsborough’s talent. 
Of this description of scenery a very large portion of the outskirts 
of the park consists, and is, indeed, extremely interesting to those who 
possess a painter’s eye, and who can appreciate the beautiful associa¬ 
tions of Nature in her wildest state. 
Many writers of the most refined taste, and who have acquired that 
taste by the study of the principles of painting, as exemplified in the 
works of the great masters of the landscape branch of that divine art, 
have long ago insisted that landscape gardeners should, in all cases, 
copy as far as possible the scenery (sylvan particularly) as represented 
by the ancient fathers of the pictorial art; or, if they have no access 
to the galleries of the great, to become acquainted with the works of 
Rembrandt, Poussin, or Claude Lorraine, then they should repair to the 
New Forest, where the late ingenious Mr. Gilpin caught and matured 
so many of his ideas of forest scenery; or to that at Epping, or any 
other forest, to study the various combinations of trees, shrubs, and 
herbs, which might be successfully imitated, not only among the greater 
features of a park, but in the pleasure-ground, and even in the flower- 
garden also.

BIRDS WHICH ARE INSECTIVOROUS. 
{Continued from page 211.) 
The larvae of many kinds of butterflies and moths are very injurious 
by devouring the foliage, and to such an extent that both flowers and 
fruit are destroyed. Every one has to complain of the depredations 
committed by the gooseberry-moth, the larvae of which defoliate the 
trees, and render the fruit austere and almost useless. Those of the
