the Parterre lies too high for the Floor of the 

 Houfe, which is the Cafe in many Plates, or 

 where the Mold is to be carry 'd off, for fome 

 good Ufe. 



This moving of Earth, is commonly mea- 

 fur'd by the Foot Meafure, and afterwards re- 

 duc'd into folid Yards, 27 whereof makes a 

 Yard fquare, or folid, being 5 Foot iongj 

 3 Foot deep, and three Foot wide. 



Thefe Dimenfions may be taken, before the 

 Ground is carry 'd away, by digging Holes 

 down to the intended Level ^ but it is gene- 

 rally meafur'd afterwards,by leaving little Hil- 

 locks about two Foot wide, to fhew the Height 

 the Ground was before the Work was begun. 



Let us then patthe Cafe that 'tis fuch a Par- 

 terre, or Lawn, as is defer ib'd Fig. 2, being 

 560 Foot long, 160 Foot wide, and of the 

 feveral Depths under-mention*d , thefe Hil- 

 locks ought to be rang dout,or judicioufly ftak'd 

 out, as the Mafter and Undertaker fhall beft 

 agree; We will fuppofe them to be only ten, 

 but in a Peice of Ground of this Extent, there 

 can't be lefs than 50 or 605 however, thefe ten 

 will fhew the Reafon of the Thing as well as 

 50 or 60. 



Let the Depths be, CO 2 F, 3 In. (2) i F. 

 6 In. (3) 2 F. I In. (4) 2 F. 5 In. (5) 1 F. 



3 In, (6) 2 F. 7 In. (7) o F, 8 In. (8) o F. 



4 In. (9) o F. 3 In. (10) I F. 4 In. Thefe 

 added together, will make 14 F. 8 In. Which 

 being divided by 10, the Number of Depths 

 makes near i F. 6 In. for the mean Depth of 



this
