ifig. 113.); and direct e., the windmill ou 

 the heath, as per sketch 8. (Jig. 114.)- 



At 14, 15, and 16, the ground is low, and 

 the views of the distant scenery not marked 

 by any particular feature. Near 16., a view 

 is obtained of an old barn turned into a cot- 

 tage, in the direction of S. w. See sketch 

 No. 9. (Jig. 115.). 



14, 15, and 16. Low, without much exte- 

 rior view, and may therefore be planted, if 

 thought desirable. Being at one corner of 

 the property, this would be a good situation 

 for an archery-ground, or bowling-green. 

 On mentioning this, the Jlisses C. appeared 

 delighted at the thought of an archery- 

 ground ; but IVIr. C. seemed to incline to a 

 bowling-green. Mrs. C. thought it would 

 be a good place for the younger children to

The left-hand column above gives a general idea of the surface, and 

 sufficient indications of the soil and subsoil to enable the landscape-gardener

 kitchen-garden, and that of the approach, which must be between the lodge 

 and the house, leaving the remainder of the place to be laid out as pleasure- 

 ground. 



298. Another mode, by which the most interesting views from different points 

 within the ring-fence may he exhibited, is shown in Jig. 116; in which the 

 estate, and the views from it, are drawn to a scale one half smaller than in 

 Jig 106. and in the views (Jigs. 107. to 115.) given in the descriptive column. 

 By the mode shown in Jig. 116., all the different distant objects given in the 

 sketches in the descriptive column, pp. 201, 202, and 203., are shown in the 

 exact position, and at the relative distances at which they lie from the different
