To efFeftthis the better, you are to plant a 

 fmall Holly Hedge, or (if near Lojidon^ 

 where Yews and Hollies can be got large) a 

 Hedge four, five, or fix Foot high, in the 

 very Line where you might have intended 

 your Wall, viz>. ranging from the Angles of 

 your Building, as in all Defigns they do, or 

 ought to GO. But, if the Holly Hedge be not 

 above a Foot high,it does,by that means, make 

 no Manner of Show at prefent 5 and therefore 

 there ougnt to be plac'd, about 5 or 4 Foot 

 behind it, a Row of Hedge-Elms, and thofe 

 will make an Appearance at once, will fhrowd 

 the Holly 'til it is grown up, and will them- 

 felves, after that, be fit to prune into Stand- 

 ards, or to plant promifcuoufly in our rural 

 Plantations. 



But it muft be noted, that this can't be 

 done near or in Town, but only in the Coun- 

 try 5 the Town requires high Walls quite 

 round it, but the Country may be more open 

 and lefs guarded. And now let us follow our 

 Defcription. 



A is the Hall, B the great Dining- Room, C G 

 CC are all Drawing-Rooms,or Bed-chambers, 

 and D D D D are Clofers 5 E is the common 

 Veflibulefor Ferfons that come about Bufinefs, 

 F the Kitchen, and G the Laundry-Offices. 



This is all I take to be neceiTary to fay as to 

 Court-Yards, or the little Gardens adjoining 

 to the Building. 'Tis obvious enough to every 

 Body, that the other little ones are either to 

 be pav'd, or to be laid with Grafs and Gravel,
