It would be tedious to enumerate all the errors of a
false taste: but the havock it has made in our old plan-
tations, must ever be remembered with indignation.
The ax has often, in one day, laid waste the growth of
several ages; and thousands of venerable plants, whole
woods of them, have been swept away, to make room
for a little grass, and a few American weeds. Our vir-
tu osi. have scarcely left an acre os shade, nor three trees
growing in a line, from the Land’s-end to the Tweed:
and if their humour for devaluation continues to rage
much longer, there will not be a forest--tree left standing
in the whole kingdom.
