HA-HA is a sunk fence, being placed at the bottom of 

 a deep and spreading ditch, either to avoid any interrup- 

 tion to an expanse of surface, or to let in a desired pros- 

 pect. As all deceptions are unsatisfactory to good taste, 

 and as, when viewed lengthwise, these fences are formal 

 and displeasing, they ought never to be adopted except 

 in extreme cases.
