garden domain. We may perhaps sum up the 

 sentence in the single word " repose." The method 

 of garden planning, as it is desired to present it here, 

 is largely embraced in a process of dividing the 

 garden into many gardens, each part having an 

 oifganic relation with every other part, and all 

 together forming one harmonised scheme. This 

 principle is of the utmost importance. A formal 

 garden enlarged to extravagant dimensions has a 

 barren and hard effect which defeats its own object.
