i68 Of Terrace- Wax Ks. ^ 



no Seat can be fa id to be compleat, wher? 

 there is not an immediate Shade, almofl as 

 foon as out of the Houfe. And the fame may 

 be faid of all other Side-Terraces, which 

 ought by all Means to be planted with good 

 Oak, or, which is of quicker and more regu- 

 lar Growth, Elm, rather than the more coft- 

 ly Yew and Holly, thatmuft always be clip- 

 ping, &c. befides the other are, in Reality, 

 of more Value, befide the noble Umbrage that 

 they afford the Owner. The Diftance of 

 thefe: Elms a-crofs will be about qo Foot, and 

 they may be plac'd at 30 Foot afunder in the* 

 Lines ^ the Quicknefs of their Growth, will, 

 'tis hop'd, foon gain Shade and Shelter to 

 the weary 'd and ftudious. 



Amongft all that can be faid of the Beauti- 

 fulnefs and Noblenefs of Terrace- Walks, thofe 

 that are cut out of a natural Hill very much 

 exceed all others, plac d upon which we view 

 the adjacent Country with the utmoft Delight, 

 and the Spirits are by an unaccountable De- 

 light rais^d to the higheft Pitch that Nature 

 and fublunary Profpects can poflibly advance 

 them : For who is there that ever faw thofe 

 noble Elevations of Belvoir, Nottingham, Bur^ 

 ieigh on the Hill, WiJicheJier, and many o- 

 ther Places, would not think them apponite4 

 by Ifature for the Refidence of great and fub- 

 |ime Spirits, and for the royal and mofl: noble 

 f'afonag^s of the World.
