New Principles of Gardening. 
IX. That all the Trees of your fhady Walks and Groves be: 
planted with Sweet-Brier, White Jeflemine, and Honey-Suckles,, 
environ’d at Bottom with a {mall Circle of Dwarf-Stock, Candy- 
Turf, and Pinks. 
X. That all thofe Parts which are out of View from the 
Houfe, be form’d into Wilderneffes, Labyrinths, Sc. 
XI. That Hills and Dales, of eafy Afcents, be made by Art,. 
where Nature has not perform’d that Work before. 
XII. That Earths caft out of Foundations, &c. be carried to 
fuch Places for raifing of Mounts, from which, fine Views- 
may be feen. | 
XI. That the Slopes of Mounts, c. be laid with a mode- 
rate Reclination, and planted with all Sorts of Ever-Greens.in 
a promifcuous Manner, fo as to grow all ina Thicket; which 
has a prodigious fine Effect. 
In this very Manner are planted two beautiful Mounts in 
the Gardens of the Honourable Sir Fiber Tench at Low- 
Layton in Effex. 
XIV. That the Walks leading up the Slope of a Mount, 
have their Breadth contratted at the Top, full one half Part;. 
and if that contrafted Part be enclofed on the Sides with a 
Hedge whofe Leaves are of a light Green, ‘twill feemingly add 
a great Addition to the Length of the Walk, when view’d 
from the other End. 
XV. That all Walks whofe Lengths are fhort, and lead away 
from any Point of View, be made narrower at their further - 
Ends than at the hither Part; for by the Inclination of their — 
Sides, they appear to be of a much greater Length than they 
really are; and the further End of every long Walk, Avenue, &c. 
appears to be much narrower than that End where you ftand. 
And the Reafon is, that notwithftanding the Sides of fuch 
Walks are parallel to each other, yet as the Breadth of the 
further End is feen undera lefler“Angle, than the Breadth of 
that Part where you ftand, it will therefore appear as if con- 
tracted, altho’ the Sides are actually parallel ; for equal Ob- 
jects always appear under equal Angles, Q. E. D. 
XVI. That the Walks of'‘a Wildernefs be never narrower 
than ten Beet, or wider than twenty five Feet. 
XVII. ‘That the Walks of a Wildernefs be fo plac’d, as to 
refpect the beft Views of the Country.
