 was carried over a rustic bridge, to where the water entered, tumbling 

 over a rocky cascade ; another over the half-hidden pleasure gardens,

 pleasure gardens were laid out as shown on the plan, beyond the 

 parterre, and special spots were set aside for roses, American plants

 placed on the south side of the pleasure gardens, and are approached 

 from these, from the park, and also from the outside road. The

 and by pumping the water to a reservoir built 150 ft. above it 

 in the hills, distant four miles from the Palace. The water thence 

 is delivered by gravitation as required.

 agricultural land had to be transformed into a residential estate. 

 The landowner, Sir Offley Wakeman, Bart., determined to build a 

 house on part of his property, and to lay out gardens and a park. 

 The work is not yet actually completed, but, in order to make 

 the description more clear, I am assuming that the whole is
