plate opposite vol.1 p.113
caption from the list of plates:-
The contracted valley may be considered as a species
of fore-ground. The valley here represented, opens rather
too abruptly. There is more beauty in this kind of
landscape, when the removed screen folds more behind
the front one; and the distance appears over the
intersecting point. These scenes are generally decorated
with a river; but sometimes only with a road. Of this latter
kind is Middleton-dale. described in the 212th page of the
IId vol.
The contracted valley is contrased by the open,
extended vale; a scene of which kind is represented
in the 41st page of the IId vol.
