Even beauty, that much carried property which so
unfortunately has been attributed to the spot beauty
whi the supposed result of the three properties above
mentioned, beauty no matter the capacity of
beauty, for at present the spot has as little to recommend
it to the eye being beautiful to look
at as any most beauty beauty that unfortunate and much envied property quality the source of all the
efforts which have been employed used to deprive the
institution of the so it of the a soil in which the it had had
its birth so long called its own, is perhaps not less more essential foor the
to the fitness for the public service to the value
of the spot for the purpose of private luxury⊞ ⊞ than to its fitness with a view to the public service. The more beautiful
the spot, the more ready scene, the more disposed will the respectable part of public at large be to
flock to it: visit it: and where one scene could derive entertainment
from it as the site of a Villa if by a Villa if appropriated to when monopolized by a Villa, thousands may
derive entertainment and instruction from it too

though if beauty whose he says instead of beauty, he should rather
say have said capacity of receiving beauty; for, at present when viewed in
its present uniformity and nakedness, it has little enough
to recommend it. – Is beauty, even here, at variance with
use? By no means. A Galley may be painted: but will this
render the condition of the Galley-Slave a tempting one?
