To come then to our Method of dividing 

 our Plantation after this Quincuncial and 

 Quadrate Manner, on which the afore-menti- 

 on'd ingenious Author, SirThomas Brown.h^s 

 fpent about 100 Pages. When the Width of a 

 Piece of Ground is takenjou are firit to fquarc 

 itoutexadly by the Method heretofore deli- 

 vcr*d,in the Mathematical InHruBions for Gar- 

 deners: Which done, and four Stakes fet, one 

 at each Angle of your Work, divide it hy an 

 uneven Number, fuch as you think will di- 

 vide the Rows of Trees at fifteen, twenty, 

 or twenty five Foot Diftance, more or lefs, 

 as the Occafion requires. As for Inftance, in 

 the 2d Figure of this next Plate, the Diftance 

 from Corner-Tree to Corner-Tree is 306 

 Foot, which, by Way of Elfay, I divide by 

 the uneven Number of 17, which gives 18 

 in the Qijotient ^ and that 18 is the Number 

 ot Trees in that Line, at 17 Foot Diftance. 

 And the Reafon that I divide by this or any 

 other uneven Number, is, that thereby the 

 Trees range every Way, which, if they were 

 divided by an even Number, they would not 

 do. But this is chiefly ufefnl in Avenues, or 

 where there are large Walks that pafs through 

 one of thefe Plantations, in which, if you do 

 not take this Method, the Trees will not 

 range. But in regular Avenues, where Rang- 

 ing is required, it being, indeed, the very 

 Principal requifite in thefe Kind of Works, 

 it is very neceflary, as will hereafter appear,'
