84 Of rural and exlenfive Garc/eningl 

 ifor to walk in a long Walk, and to have the 

 fides very high and clofe, 'tis like walking 

 in a folitary Lane, when one cannot fee any 

 thing on each fide, but the Eye is bounded 

 to it's difcontent, whilft, on the other Hand, 

 a Traveller comes to a low Place or Gapp 

 in a Hedge, he is pleas'd, and apt to ftop, 

 and look into the adjacent Field, with PJea- 

 fure, and Satisfadlion ; and 'tis thus ob- 

 ferving the rules of Nature, tho' but mean 

 in Appearance at iirft fight , that our De- 

 figns may very much be better'd.

 Parterre, middle Walk, &c. we come to the 

 Boundary of the interior Part of our Gar- 

 den, which is eafily difcover'd to be an Flexa- 

 gone in Fortification Work, for the digging- 

 of the Ditch makes the Terrace in the In- 

 fide, and helps to raife the Banks on the 

 outfide ; fo as to admit other Slopes , being 

 what they call Fortification the cover'd way. 

 There is fome Art and Judgment in flaking 

 out this Ditch, and Terraces 5 not fo much 

 in refped to the Lines, but fo as that we 

 don't go {o deep as to have too much Stuff 

 lie on our Hands 5 or otherwife, that we 

 dare not pitch onr Levels fo high , as to 

 want Earth to make good our Terrace, 



The Level of the River, ought indeed to 

 determine the Surface of our Water in the 

 Ditch, but that fliould not force us to any 

 Inconvenience in raifing the Terrace. In
