At WENTWORTH, although the quantity of water is very considerable, yet it is so disposed as to be little seen from the present approach [see fig. 54], and when it is crossed in the drive on the head between two pools, the artificial management destroys much of its effect: they appear to be several distinct ponds, and not the series of lakes which nature produces in a mountainous country. But the character of this water should rather imitate one large river than several small lakes; especially as it is much easier to produce the appearance of continuity than of such vast expanse as a lake requires. The following sketch [fig. 55] is a view of the scenery presenting itself under the branches of trees, which act as a frame to the landscape [and with certain trees, shewn in fig. 54, removed].
