The chateau of Baron Eichthal, at Ebersberg, is more 

 remarkable for being the residence of a distinguished Bava- 

 rian patriot, who has introduced Scottish agriculture on his 

 estate, than for its gardening. The situation, however, is of 

 singular grandeur and beauty. The chciteau is placed on an 

 elevated platform, on one side of a basin, which has once 

 been a lake, but which is now covered with fertile fields, and 

 surrounded by hills, partially wooded, having one outlet by a 

 valley, in the extreme distance of which is seen Hohenlinden, 

 the site of the famous battle of that name. A plan {fig. 105.) 

 for laying out a pleasure-ground in front of the chateau 

 was formed, in 1824, by Charles Sckell; and, as it is in- 

 structive, as illustrating his manner, we shall submit it with 

 its details : —
