SECTION II. 



Of the Choice of Scituations. 



THE Choke of Scituations has been fb 

 largely hinted by all that have writ 

 concerning Gardening 5 but the Method they 

 have taken, is attended with fb miny infu- 

 pcrable Difficulties, that I (hall endeavour to 

 abbreviate and make it more ufeful, not to 

 terrific or amufe fuch as enter upon this de- 

 lightful Employ, with thofe uniieceffary Rules 

 and Reftriftions, into which they are confe- 

 quently plung'd by fuch Diredions 5 fince 

 were all, that ar prefent have Occafion, to 

 build or furnifh themfelves with Country 

 Habitations, to obferve but the Tythe of v\^hat 

 has been fo often prefcrib'd, as Eflential to 

 a Country Scat ; *tis hard to lee, how 'tis 

 poffible they (liould have any Seats at all. 



Tis certain, that Providence has been won-* 

 derful kind to us of thcfe Iflands, more than 

 to any of our Neighbours 5 and few, very 

 few Scituations they are, that are not in many 

 Degrees beyond any thing (by Nature) to be 

 read of, or fecn abroad , what would the 

 magnificent Gardens of the French and Flem-- 

 ptings be, if they were not fet off with the 

 utmojft Skill and Expence that ihey are Ma- 

 tters^
