Cascade of Tirni

The Appearance where it falls is
like that of a boiling Caldron of an
immense Size; the force of the falling
water is such that by dashing against
the rocks beneath it forms a thick Vapor
w/ch [which] rises as high as the [[Mount Marmores]]
from whence through [still] the high[er] hills it
directs its Course to the Cascade_

Rolling from hence in [white] boiling
foamey surges 30 or 40 Yards it is joined
by the smaller & more placid river [[Nera]]
w/ch [which] it enlarges two thirds, & directs its Course
through abrupt craggy rocks, winding round
a Hill, & spreads itself through a rich
fruitfull & pleasant Vale. Tis without
doubt a noble Object for a perspective
or landskip Painter, suggesting the most
pleasing & sublime thoughts to a warm
imagination_

We left [[Terni]] about seven OClock in the Evening & travelled till Midnight;
then stopp'd [stopped] till seven or eight OClock
next Morning at [[Spoleto]] abt. [about] 90 Miles from
[[Rome]], having passed thro' [through] the Town & lodged at
an Inn just beyond the Gate of the Town_
