the mountains (tho in fact they describe a circle of twenty
miles, which is double the circumference of the lake)
appeared universally to rise from the water's edge.
Along it's western shores on the right, they rise smooth and
uniform; and are therefore rather lumpish. The more removed
part of this mountain-line is elegant: but, in some parts,
it is disagreeably broken.
On the eastern side, the mountains are both grander, and
more picturesque. The line is pleasing; and is filled with
that variety of objects, broken-ground,- rocks,- and wood,
which being well combined, take from the heaviness of a
mountain; and give it an airy lightness.
The front-screen (if we may so call a portion of a
circular form,) is more formidable, than either of the
sides. But it's line is less elegant, than that of the
eastern-screen. The fall of Lodoar, which adorns that part
of the lake, is an object of no consequence at the distance
we now stood. But in our intended ride we proposed to take a
nearer view of it.
