detected : but in works of art every trick 

 ought to be avoided. Sham churches, 

 sham ruins, sham bridges, and every thing 

 which appears Mdiat it is not, disgusts 

 when the trick is discovered. 



N° 10. 

 ** In buildings of every kind the cha- 

 racter should be strictly observed. No 

 incongruous mixture can be justified. To 

 add Grecian to Gothic, or Gothic to Gre- 

 cian, is equally disgusting; and a sharp- 

 pointed arch to a garden gate, or a dairy 

 window, however frequently it occurs, is 

 not less offensive tban Grecian architec- 

 ture, in which the standard rules of rela- 

 tive proportion are neglected or violated. 



" The perfection of Landscape Gar- 

 dening consists in the fullest attention to 

 these principles. Utility^ Proportion, and 

 Unity or harmony of parts to the whole." 



THE END.
