The Dedication. 



in your delightful best Garden, and the 

 stock of Fish therein kept to be always at 

 hand to pleasure your Friends, which is 

 continually stored with Trouts and Carps of 

 the largest size; I remember also the Oval 

 Fountain in the Kitchen Garden, which is 

 a good Nursery for the younger fry, but 

 above all, I admire at your Ingenuity in con- 

 triving that Square Pond on the top of 

 your House, which contains good Carps 

 and other Fish, and is an excellent diver- 

 tisement when you are pleased to disport 

 your self and friends with your fine Water 

 Works, I admired once how the water as- 

 cended to that Height, to be always full of 

 sweet and fresh water, till you were pleased 

 to shew me how you performed it by the 

 help of an Engine. 



If there be delights any where, I think 

 you have them all at home, for a Man 

 to see Fish swimming on the top of your 

 House and the Fowls of Heaven to live 

 and breed under the water, will be strange 

 to those whose faith is too weak to believe, 

 or capacity to understand your Ingenuity, 

 how you have made Coves for Pidgeons 

 under the Pond where they breed, that a
