exceird the Strength of our Pockets in Platen, 

 and there being a Neceiiity of having fome 

 more, we are oblig'd to contrad our Sails as 

 much as poflible, left perhaps we fail in the 

 Midft of a too adventurous Flight. But to the 

 Figure* 



This little Attempt will fhew, that the 

 Plattoons at each Corner, are, by a natural 

 Elevation, mounted up into Turrets, while 

 the Inter-fpaces are kept low, and appear like 

 Piazza's, to convey one from one Turret to 

 another. 



This* I prefume, is altogether new ia 

 Planting, efpecially as to the Elevation of 

 the Turrets, which I fhall therefore fay fome- 

 thing the more of. 



There are few Gentlemen, it is to be fup- 

 pos'd, but what have fome larger Elms and 

 Lymes than ordinary to plant thofe Plattoons 

 with ^ and very ufeful in this Cafe are fuch 

 Avenues that are of 18 or 20 Years planting, 

 where the Trees ftand too thick, which is the 

 Fault of almoft all the Avenues that have 

 been planted within thefe twenty or thirty 

 Years laft paft ^ fo that 'tis not only pofTible, 

 but alfo very requifite, that every other Tree 

 fliould betaken up^ the Line it felf will be 

 maintained every whit as well, and the Trees 

 that remain will fpread themfelves the better. 

 This being granted, you are to take them 

 up carefully, (as will appear in its proper 

 Place) and prune the Head of the Trees, 

 be it either Elm or Lyme^ into a Conic 



Shape
