| Evidence: | Letter to MIss Ewing August 10 1778 '? I resume my wonted pleasure of contemplating the calm bosom of my own lake, the purest of mirrors, exhibiting a prospect awfully solemn and wildly magnificent; while the mountain tops seem sleeping on its surface. ?In truth, I am a strange and wayward wight/ Fond of each dreadful, and each gentle scene"'
