I Of rural and exten five Gardenings ^^ 



fuch a Cafe one would rather have a Sluice 

 to let Water in, next the River, and ano- 

 ther to let it out at fome other Place, 

 where it will have a Current to run off, if 

 there be occafion to draw it at any time. 



The Fifh Ponds in the Fifliery are fupplied 

 by the ftme means, with Water let out of 

 the Ditch, or River 3 but if the Nature of 

 the Ground will not allow to carry the Sur- 

 face of them fb high, or near fo high, as 

 the River, it may be done by means of a 

 clofe Sluice, as is above hinted ; fince, per^ 

 haps, both in the Ditch, and Fifliery, if the 

 Owner were to carry it up to the level of 

 the River, it would coft him a round Sum 

 of Mony, and his Defign be never the better^ 

 And, if he ihould be any ways annoy*d by 

 Floods, which is very often the Cafe, he 

 is by this means fecure, having his River 

 well bank'd on each Side, to keep it from 

 overflowing his Lands, 



The Profile, and Methods of making this 

 Ditch, fo as to hold Watery will be 

 found in the Chapter concerning Water , 

 at the latter end of this Volume 5 fo that 

 I haft to the farther Defcription of this Plate, 

 and particularly to the exterior Parts of 

 my Defign. After having obferv'd that our 

 Terrace Walk on both fides the Water, is 

 defign'd to be planted with EngUfh Elms for 

 fliade, or, if any is fo pleased, with Standard 

 Yews, of which there are a great ipany at
