ADVICE FOR LACKLAND. 81 



North Wales, near Caernarvon, the refuse material 

 from the ledges is laid up by the adjoining proprie- 

 tors in snug fences, that appear at a little distance 

 away, to be crowned with a regularly castellated bat- 

 tlement. This effect is produced simply by alternat- 

 ing cubical and oblong fragments of slate rock upon 

 the summit of the wall. 



In Derbyshire, again, I have seen a kindred effect 

 wrought by the tasteful disposition of the big boulders 

 which are scattered pretty thickly over some of the 

 high moorlands of that country. In Cumberland and 

 Westmoreland, indications of the same rural adaptive- 

 ness abound. 



Thus much has been suggested at present by our 

 friend Lackland's request that I should supply for him 

 the plan of a gate. We will now see what can be 

 done for his special needs.

/"\N turning back to page of ground plan, the 

 ^-J reader will perceive, from the drawing of my 

 friend Lackland's grounds, that he has need of three 

 principal gateways a small one for the footpath, 

 being the entrance nearest to the village, a larger 

 one for his drive, and a third opening for his grass 



field. This last he will not have very frequent occa-
