reqair'd, but his Defign is for an open fpaci- 

 ous Wood, where the Owner is to ride, 

 hunt, &c. 



Neither will the natural Gardener be ob- 

 ferv'd to have err'd, when he has iiird all his 

 little Eminencies and Hollows with little 

 Gardens, Statues, and other rural Decorati- 

 ons 5 for his Wood is entirely for walking in ^ 

 it lyes high, and he is not obferv'd to have 

 cut down any noble Trees, when, in Truth, 

 the Nature of his Wood would not allow it ; 

 neither has he fliewn himfelf fond of any 

 Mathematical Figure, but has made his De- 

 fign fubmit to Nature, and not Nature to 

 his Defign. The Infide of his Wood is fiU'd 

 with Hares, Pheafants, the Statues of Rural 

 and Sylvan Deities all cut out in Wood, 

 while he contrives like'vvife that living Hares 

 and Pheafants fiiall abound ^ by which 

 Mean?, befides the couchant Furniture in I- 

 mitaticn, he has really a great deal that is a- 

 live and in Motion, darting themfelves a-crofs 

 him where-ever he turns himfelf; He is of- 

 ten furpriz'd with little Gardens, with Caves, 

 little natural Cafcades and Grotts of Water, 

 with Pieces of Grotefque Painting, Seats, and 

 Arbors of Honey fuckles and Jeffamine, and,in 

 ihort, with all the Varieties that Nature and 

 Art can furnini him with. But this is but a 

 very iraperfeft Sketch of what a judicious Fer- 

 fon may compoTc in this beautiful Wood.
