To preserve the idea of a river, nothing is so effectual as a bridge; instead of dividing the water on each side, it always tends to lengthen its continuity, by shewing the impossibility of crossing it by any other means, provided the ends are well concealed, which is fortunately the case with respect to this water. Although the upper side of the bridge would be very little seen, because the banks are everywhere planted; yet as the bridge would not be more than fifty yards long, it would be more in character with the greatness of the place to have such a bridge as would nowhere appear a deception, and in this case the different levels of the water (being only five feet) would never be discovered.
