The other buildings through the garden should cor- 

 respond to this one ; they should have that great- 

 ness and hardiness in thera, which the GOTHIC archi- 

 tecture above all other gives. If a bridge is to be 

 built, it should consist of one vast bold arch, instead 

 of two or three elegant small ones ; and if it has one 

 or two ornaments it should have no more. The other 

 buildings through the garden, should in general be 

 rather of the square than of the round form. This 

 last Ibrni has in it too much of elegance and lightness.. 

 But as the sameness of continual squares would tire, 

 buildings consisting of many sides have not the ele- 

 gance of the round, and yet along with the solidity^ 

 of the square form, have a kind of magic appearance, 

 that perhaps is more corresponding to the nature of 

 the sentiment to be raised, than this last form itself.. 

 Of the effect of these many-siHed squares, there- 

 is a fine instance in Mil. aisleby's Gothic octagon,, 

 when surveyed from tlie low parts of the garden at 

 STUDLEY.^ Though the gothic architecture should 

 in such a place be in general preferred to the Gre- 

 cian, yet in particular spots it may be improper: 

 in that case the doPvIC, or even the more rustic 

 TUSCAN order, would be proper to supply its place. 

 The disposition of planting and water should cor- 

 respond to the same greatness of matter and man- 

 ner in the buildings. If a piece of water is to be 

 made, it should be a lake, not :i pond ; it should be 

 thrown into one great sheet, like the lake at Blen- 

 heim, in an agreeable and natural shape, but with- 

 out symmetry, instead of being split into a dozen 

 basins, and those of \\himsical forms, like MR. aisle- 

 by's at studley. The rapidity and noise of the 

 rivers, should be increased by artificial bulwarks and 

 impediments, as is done at invehary ; and the falls 

 of water should, either by the interposition of rocks, 

 or of new streams brought over them, be made to 

 look more like cataracts than cascades. If a planta- 

 tion is to be made, it should cover the whole side 

 and top of a mountain : it should consist of the greatt 



b3.
