Ross is “ The Gate of the Wye,” and for the beauty and variety of the
h scenery on its banks, there is no river in England at all comparable with it;
t nor do we believe (notwithstanding the superiority of some of them in point ;
! of size) that there is a single river on the Continent of Europe that can boast
such scenes of grandeur, gracefulness, and pastoral beauty. Its romantic i
beauties, whether where it glides majestically along the rich plains of Here-
: fordshire—through orchards, meadows, cornfields, and villages—or, deep in
S its channel, runs between lofty rocks, clothed with hanging woods, and
* crowned at intervals with antique ruins of castellated and monastic edifices,
’ yielding a panoramic succession of exquisite landscapes, have furnished
i many subjects for the poet and the painter; and cannot fail to charm every
* lover of nature.
