It was very difficult in this garden to get a view which 

 seemed to give a true impression of the place, or 

 which in any way revealed the design. In looking 

 down from above there were too many trees in the 

 way to make this possible, and from below there was 

 no point at a sufficient distance to see the parterre as 

 a whole. The statuary of this garden is particularly 

 charming, being mostly of nymphs in flowing gar- 

 ments, giving a festive character very much in har- 

 mony with the gayety which one looks for in such a 

 place. In one's mind they make an agreeable con- 

 trast with the Roman senators and headless deities 

 which do duty in most of the old Roman gardens.
