| ... Among the variety of water-falls that distinguish this awful boundary of rock [Newlands Hause], one catches the eye at a distance that exceeds the boasted Lowdore, in height of rock and unity of fall, whilst the beholder is free of all anxiety of mind in the approach. Not one pebble or grain of sand offends; but all is nature, in her sweetest trim of verdant turf, spread out to please her votaries. | ||
