How frequently do we see undulations of ground, which might have been infinitely varied by judicious planting, utterly deformed by a cap of fir or larch placed on every swell. Whereas, had the plantation on one knoll extended into the hollow, it would have more strongly marked the depth between it and the corresponding swell on the other side of the valley; on which swell a looser plantation might flow halfway down, connecting it again, by a straggling group or two, with some other mass of wood. No. 72. of the Quarterly Review inculcates this lesson with great force and taste: the passage will be found worthy of attentive perusal. "The improver ought to be governed by "the natural features of the ground, in choos"ing the shape of his plantations, as well as "in selecting the species of ground to be "planted. A surface of ground undulating "into eminences and hollows forms, to a "person who delights in such a task, per"haps, the most agreeable ...
