 may slightly sketch with red, or any striking colour, the 

 proposed improvements, as is done in Plate XVI. fig. 2., by 

 the dotted lines upon the ichnography of figure 1.; or, as 

 is done on buildings, in the elevation fig. 3. Plate XXI. After 

 this he should make out a plan, bird's-eye views, sections, 

 elevations, &c. shewing what will be the effect of the pro- 

 posed improvements at a certain future period, suppose three 

 or seven years, after they have been executed. This should

 passages of the scenery, or of buildings in their present state; 

 and by other sketches, shewing the effect of improving them, 

 as is exemplified in Plates XIII., XIV., XV., XVI., &c. and 

 in elevations of buildings in Plate XXI. and in the perspec- 

 tives of them, in Plates XXIX. and XXX. &c. The whole, 

 except the larger ground plans (which may generally be fixed 

 on canvass and rollers), should be incorporated with a manu- 

 script volume, giving some account of the present state of the 

 place (which will always be interesting after the alterations are 

 made), and mentioning the leading reasons for proposing the 

 improvements, and the general directions for executing them. 

 Either here, or more properly in a detached appendix, should 

 be given an estimate of the expense of the whole. In con- 

 nection with these plans, &c. I have found it of great ad- 

 vantage, in very irregular situations, to construct models both
