object is varied by a change of features, in such a manner as
renders them wholly new. The great island changes its appearance,
and, joined with the ferry points, cuts the lake in two. The
house thereon becomes an important to object. The ferry-house,
seen under the sycamore grove, has a fine effect; and the broken
cliff over it, constitutes a most agreeable picture. The greatest
beauty of the shore, and the finest rural scenes in nature, are
found by traversing the lake; and viewing each in turn. they
receive improvement from contrast.- The western side is spread
with enchanting sylvan scenes; the eastern waves with all the
improved glory of rural magnificence.

STATION IV. Rawlinson's-nab is a peninsular-rock, of a circular
figure, swelling to a crown in the centre, covered with a low
wood; there are two of them, but it is from the crown of the
interior nab, you have the present surprising view of two fine
sheets of water, that bend different ways.
The view to the south, is bounded on both sides by a bold and
various shore. The hills are wooded and rough, but spotted in
parts with small inclosures, and their tops burst into rocks of
various shapes.
