Chap. 12. The Conclufion. 3^7 



Seat in general 5 whereas, had it been rightly 

 n^anaged, there fhouid be Walks planted to 

 and round about them ; And if they cann't 

 be contained within the Limits of the Gar- 

 dens, or in View of the Houfe^ yet One 

 wou'd carry fome Arm of the Garden to view 

 them, or, if poffible, correfponding or pro- 

 jeding over them. I, for my own part, who 

 have been all my Time, fince 1 had any 

 Thought this Way, obfcrving it , have 

 gtiev'd to fee Money thrown away in Holes 

 and Corners, which might have been laid 

 out fo much to the Advantage and Beauty 

 of a Seat. r> 



And altho* thefe Dilemma's be too true,^ 

 it is yet a very hard matter to undeceive 

 Getitlemen of their Error. This I have 

 fpoke to already in the Preface, and 

 fhall not make much more Repetition of it : 

 And indeed, the only Objedion that I find 

 rais'd againft Writing and Printing Schemes 

 and Books of Gard'nivg, is the bafe Ufe and 

 abfurd Imitation that m.any Gardeners make 

 of them : For as Situation and Soils do very 

 much differ, 'tis hard for any Perfon to pre- 

 fcribe Rules that may be fuitable to every 

 particular one ^ fo that thefe dull Imitators, 

 like Quacks and Plagiaries, ftealing fome- 

 thing out of one Book, and fomething out of 

 another, make fuch a Medly, that a judi- 

 cious Perfon cann't but be forry to fee it.
