* In .describing this Garden of Portugal, the Plan for the walks and shrubberies has 

 been omitted; but the Map inserted with the sections of the ground may he considered 

 as of a more general nature; serving to explain the process of laying out a surface in 

 such manner, that it may be raised and sunk, according to the stakes by which the 

 ground is divided into squares. This was done under my direction* at the gardens at 

 the Pavilion at Brighton, and the whole surface altered accordingly.
