Remarks. This villa may be considered as a model of its 

 particular kind; and, though it may not be in the power of many 

 to imitate it in every thing, yet the humblest and most economical 

 possessor of a villa residence of two acres may take a lesson 

 from Mrs. Lawrence's taste, as displayed in the manner in which 

 the trees and shrubs are grouped on the lawn. Every one can- 

 not have so many fountains, or form rockwork of spars, fossil 

 organic remains, and other geological specimens brought from 

 distant parts of the country; but every one may sink in the 



ground a few small wooden cisterns lined with lead, and 

 supply them with water by hand, as it evaporates in the 

 summer season. Some of these may serve as brilliant spots 

 to attract the eye, and others as habitats for aquatic plants
