The judicious improvement of any place must 

 rest upon the natural or acquired character of 

 the place itself. I say acquired character, be-

 natural character has been superseded by 

 planting, and other decorations of such long 

 standing as forbids their removal, and directs 

 future improvement to harmonise with the 

 existing state of things.
