182 ARCHITECTURE. BOOK I. 



The next way of uniting a mansion with the surrounding 

 scenery is by wood ; 1st, The general masses by large trees, of 

 forms different, but not totally opposite to those of the house, 

 &c; 2dly, The lesser appendages by shrubs and plants ; and, 

 Sdly, By creepers, ivy, &c. trained on different' parts of the 

 masses, as well as on the appendages. But as planting is not 

 an operation of architecture, it does not come under our dis- 

 cussion here. — See Planting.
