buildings, present the same character and 

 date, without exactly copying the detail 

 of those costly ornaments, in which the 

 palace abounds. . - ' . 



Detached. This remark is applicable to all such 



large buildings as may be necessary near 

 the house; but in the small buildings at 

 a distance the same richness of ornament 

 may prevail, where it is not inconsistent 

 with the respective uses of such build- 

 ings. For this reason I recommend the 

 entrance of this place to be marked by 

 magnificent gates, rather than by humble 

 cottages, however picturesque. The farm 

 house and the poultry house, and phea- 

 santry half-buried in wood, may preserve 

 their humble and appropriate character; 

 but if any building be made conspicuous, 

 it should be ornamented in proportion to 

 its situation and uses. Thus a keeper's 

 lodge or a huntsman's kennel in the val- 

 leys may be useful, without aifecting to 

 be ornamental; but when it occupies an 

 elevated station it should make a part of 

 the scenery M^orthy of the general cha- 

 racter of the place.
