HORTICULTURAL SOCIETT, 



tlie cascade, on wliicli small bronze statues are placed, 

 these is a fine work called 

 Atalanta, by Pradier (ce- 

 lebrated for Ms female 

 figures), and the other, ex- 

 ecuted by Moreau, a figure 

 of a girl drinking from a 

 shell. A few steps lead 

 down on each side to the 

 canals, and a similar flight 

 leads up to the terrace on Is „ „ 



the north end. The balus- 

 trades on the sides of these steps give various coignes of 



vantage, which have been skilfully 

 taken advantage of for placing 

 a few vases or statuettes, such as 

 that of the Boy and Duck. 



The small central basins, which 

 form a part of the general water- 

 works of the Garden, are placed 

 at a slightly higher IcA'el, between 

 the two long canals on each side, 

 and are furnished with one or two 

 jets, which, although trifling in 

 themselves, add motion and life to 

 the scene. 



On each side, to the right and 

 left of the small basins, are two statues in prominent positions, 

 and on lofty pedestals.
