Natural Scenery. by cradles, and though some of them appear nearer to- gether than others, it arises from their being seen in per- spective, fori suppose them, to be planted (as they usually are) at nearly equal distances. In the same landscape I have supposed the same trees grown to a considerable size, but from their equi-distance the stems are all parallel to each other, and not like the group in Fig. 14, where being planted much nearer, the trees naturally recede from each other. A few low bushes or thorns produce the kind of group in the second sketch [Fig. 14], con- sisting of trees and bushes of various growth. It may be observed that the single tree, and every part of the first sketch, is evidently artificial, and that the second one is natural, and like the groups in a forest. Another source of variety may be produced by such opaque masses of spinous plants as protect themselves from cattle; thus stems of trees seen against lawn or water.
