Perhaps the love of unity may contribute to the pleasure we feel in viewing a park where the boundary is well concealed. This desire of hiding the boundary introduced the modern practice of surrounding almost every park with a narrow plantation or belt; which, if consisting of trees planted at the same time, becomes little better than a mere hedgerow, and is deservedly rejected by every man of taste; yet there are many situations where a plantation becomes the natural boundary of a park: such is the screen of wood on the highest ground to the east of ATTINGHAM, where it forms a pleasing outline to the landscape, without exciting a wish to know whether it is the termination of the property.
