of the Parterre. 189 



The oppofite Divifion is of another Kind, 

 and intended for a Kind of Labyrinth, fome- 

 thing of the Nature of that of Ferfeilles ^ yet 

 by no Means like fome others, that are made 

 of fingle Hedges ^ for thofe feeni to be calcu- 

 lated for an inferior Clafs of People. Thefe 

 are the mofl beautiful and moft retir'd of all, 

 and contrary to the Fafhion very common a- 

 mongft us of making their V/ildernefs open 

 to all publick View 5 and to fuch a Degree 

 has this Fault been us'd, that in many Gar- 

 dens of Note, 'tis hard to find (tho' the great- 

 eft and moft eiTential Requifite in any . Gar- 

 den) fo much as one private Walk ^ but the 

 Owner, upon all Occafions, is liable to the 

 Noife and Impertinence of almoft every Body- 

 It is very proper that fuch Divifions as thefe 

 fliould be enclosed, and a I^allifado-Gate fix'd 

 at D, to keep it the more private. 



At the End, and in the dired View of eve- 

 ry Walk, fix'd in the Efpalier Hedge, are de- 

 fign'd Statues, Urns, Paintings in Stone Co- 

 lour, Grotefque and antique Figures, Tables, 

 &c. In fine, this, which by Mcafure amounts 

 to no more than four Acres and an half (be- 

 iides the Kitchen Garden) is ail that by any 

 Means a Gentleman of confiderable Fortune 

 (tho' I (hall not intend to limit any Body) 

 would in Prudence make the interior Part of 

 his Garden. The exterior, and more pub- 

 lick, will follow in a fewPages^ and 'till 

 then 1 referve what 1 have more to fay on that 

 Subject.
