APPENDIX. 



The flope of the common funk fence is ufually made 

 according to the dotted line, a, b. It is plain, that a 

 perfon has more power to get over the fence from the 

 plane, a, r, than from any part between c t and d; be- 

 cauie, in the firft inftance, the perfon would naturally 

 take advantage of fome part between a, and r, to Aep 

 from i but any part of the fpace between c, and d t is 

 too remote from the wall to extend the legs. 



There are a great many funk fences of fmaller dimen- 

 fions, to turn cattle only, already completed through- 

 out the demefne j fome in aft of making, and others 

 in contemplation. No ground can be better difpofed, 

 ro favour funk fences, than thofe of Lord Mountjoy's 

 demefne. With other early regulations, thofe of funk 

 iences, to divide the grounds, both for profit and 

 beauty, were not forgotten. All this was found ne- 

 cefTary, previous to determining the various interior 

 plantations, as, by fo doing, fome expence might be 

 faved, in curtailing the length of the line of the funk 

 fence, by projecting or making ftrong prominences in 

 the line of planting, without in the leail infringing on 



the line of beauty.
