LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 



ner Rowland, Esq., is shown in Fig. G4. Half a mile 

 uorth of this seat is an interesting lodge in the Swiss 

 style, at the entrance to the residence of Mrs. Sheafe. 



In Fig. 65, is shown an elevation of a lodge in the Italian 

 style, with projecting eaves supported by cantilevers or 

 brackets, round-headed windows with balconies, character- 

 istic porch, and other leading feaj,ares of this style. 



LPig. 65. Gate Lodge in the Italian style.] 



Mr. Repton has stated it as a principle in the composition 

 of residences, that neither the house should be visible from 

 the entrance nor the entrance from the house, if there be 

 sutficient distance between them to make the approach 

 through varied grounds, or a park, and not immediately 

 into a court-yard. 



Entrance lodges, and indeed all small ornamental build- 

 ings, should be supported, and partially concealed, by trees 

 and foliage ; naked walls, in the country, hardly admitting 

 of an apology in any case, but especially when the building 

 is ornamental, and should be considered part of a whole, 

 grouping with other objects in rural landscape.
