APPENDIX. 



/"from seeing the line i. In walking along from/ to h, it is clear that 

 the trees and shrubs on the left hand will always prevent the eye from 

 seeing the walk to any great distance. All the other walks through 

 the lawn are concealed in a similar manner, so that a person walking 

 in the grounds never sees any other walk than that which lies imme- 

 diately before him, and, therefore, in looking across the lawn, he never 

 can discover the extent either of what he has seen, or of what he has 

 yet to see. To form a great number of walks of this sort, and lead 

 the rpectator over them without showing him more than one walk at a 

 time, but taking care, at the same time, to let him have frequent and 

 extensive views across the lawn, and these views always different, 

 conf'titute the grand secret of making a small place look large. 



l\e walks are filled to the brim with gravel, kept firmly rolled, and 

 theij- grass margins are dipt, but never cut, because the gravel, being 

 a'n »st as hio-h as the turf, the latter can never sink down, and swel.
