one sitting in peeping out of a Coach: but he will have
more; for the prospect even of the Horseman
is stopped by the first tall Hedge that's near
him: he will have the advantage of one who
has ascended to the summit an eminence of an Observatory; a mountain

from an Observatory the mountain in proportion as he is elevated
above the surface level of it views the objects less
distinctly & under a smaller angle; whereas
so in this mental prospect every object thing is alike

this advantage whenever at every opportunity which the nature of the Country
puts [it] into his power
