The beauties of parks

The chief beauty of a park consists in uniform verdure; undulating* lines contrasting with each other in variety of forms; trees so grouped as to produce light and shade to display the varied surface of the ground; and an undivided range of pasture. The animals fed in such a park appear free from confinement, at liberty to collect their food from the rich herbage of the valley, and to range uncontrolled to the drier soil of the hills. *[I am aware that the word undulating is seldom applied to solid bodies, but I know no other word so expressive of that peculiar shape of ground consisting of alternate concave and convex lines flowing into each other.]
