the judgment of those 

 who may think any 

 of the plans worthy 

 of being adopted, in 

 part or wholly, as the 

 groundwork of their

With regard to 

 form, it will be seen 

 that I favour the ob- 

 long, with the slip 

 made circular on the 

 south, or point of 

 principal entrance : 

 this, in my opinion, 

 falls in better with an 

 adjoining shrubbery 

 than a straight fence 

 would do, should a 

 shrubbery be pro- 

 posed. 



Espaliers being ob- 

 jected to by some and 

 approved of by others, 

 they must be left to 

 the will of such as 

 like to adopt or dis- 

 card them. How- 

 ever, I consider them 

 both useful and orna- 

 mental, and that, in 

 both respects, they 

 more than compen- 

 sate for the injury 

 which it is thought 

 by some they do the 

 crops. 



The height of walls 

 must also be left to 

 the judgment of the 

 designer; only in this 

 case I beg to observe, 

 that, if, according to 

 the scale of these de- 

 signs, there is not a 

 sufficient space be- 

 tween the back wall
