PART III. ARCHITECTURE. 181 



cheerful, grand, or melancholy ; and they may be connected in 

 different ways with the paved walk and balustrade. 



4thly, The last addition to these appendages may be statues; 

 which, in my opinion, should never be placed far distant from 

 the house, as is done in the French gardens, and in several 

 places in England, as at Castle Howard, Bramham Park, &c. 

 Artificial water-works should be used under the same reemla- 

 tions, and not scattered up and down every where as at Chats- 

 worth and Studley, &c. But on both, these subjects more will 

 be added in their proper places. 



In order to give the clearest view of my ideas on this subject,, 

 I have considered it in relation to two different fronts. But 

 there ought to be no limitation of either the number of fronts 

 or degree of ornament in them. Sometimes the entrance 

 front maybe the most highly ornamented; at other times, only 

 one side of a building may be seen, the other may overhang a 

 precipice, &c. : in fact, there are innumerable ways in which 

 a mansion may appear, without coming under the two divisions 

 treated of. But these are sufficient to convey my general ideas 

 on the subject ; and if they are understood by the artist, he 

 will adopt schemes suitable to every situation and mansion, 

 whether in the Grecian or Gothic style, much better by viewing 

 them, than by any further detail..
