The Parson's daughter of Oxney Colne

The prettiest scenery in all England-and if I am contradicted in that assertion, I will say in all Europe-is in Devonshire, on the southern and south-eastern skirts of Dartmoor, where the rivers Dart, and Avon, and Teign form themselves, and where the broken moor is half cultivated, and the wild-looking upland fields are half moor. In making this assertion I am often met with much doubt, but it is by persons who do not really know the locality.
