MARGINS of streams and other waters must always 

 accord with the pleasure-grounds in which they are 

 placed. Art, therefore, must imitate each in its proper 

 place, not always by a studious picturesque arrange- 

 ment of the marginal accompaniments in each case, but 

 by excavating the groundwork, planting the trees and 

 shrubs, and leaving the rest to the motion of the waves 

 of the water. After the effects of one winter, stones or 

 gravel may be deposited in spots suitable for stony or 

 gravelly shores.
