[l64 Of T E R R ACE- \V A L K S.' 



The Ditch, or GrafF, on the Outfide, be- 

 ing what fupplies the Infide, and raifes up 

 the Terrace, was certainly a very good I 

 Thought, tho* I prefame it has not been much 

 praftis'd by us in England^ and was firfl: deli- 

 T'XrM to us by a Gentleman, that is defervedly 

 honoured with fome confiderable Ports belong- ; 

 ing to the Architectural Province, cJv. in 

 his Majefty's Works. 



^ This Outfide, from which we are fupply'd j 

 with Earth to raife the Terrace- Walk m the I 

 Infide, is by the Frei^ch cali'd la FoJJe^ from 

 Xh^Lathi^ FoJJTa^ a Fit^ by xhtButch^ Graffy 

 and from them the fame by us 5 and ought to 

 be^about 15 Foot wide at Bottom, five Foot;| 

 deep, and the Slope 15 Foot horizantal,which 

 is the Proportion allowable to Hoping, as be- 

 fore direded. 



The Wall is feven Foot and an half high, 

 from the Top to the Bottom of the Graff, 

 which is five Foot below the Plinth of the 

 Terrace in the Infide 5 and two Foot and an 

 Jialf the Height of the Parapet^ Wall, which 

 is about Seat-high within, and gives one the 

 Liberty of all the Beauty that Nature affords 

 without. The Width of the Terrace may be 

 about 12 or 15 Foot more ^ and wider than 20 

 Foot it need never be in the greateft Defigns. 

 The Profile points every Particular out fo ve- 

 ry plain, that I need not take any more Pains 

 inwards.
