FART II. OF COUNTRY RESIDENCES. 6$7 



This proposal is not made from theory alone. It was prac- 

 tised in Scotland by the late Mr. Mawer, a respectable designer, 

 with great advantage to several proprietors. It would be un- 

 pardonable egotism, and to some appear like self-interest, to 

 offer as further proof instances from my own practice. I shall 

 only observe, generally, that on several estates I have acted in 

 this capacity for some time past ; and from only visiting them 

 once a year, such advantages have already arisen, as are highly 

 gratifying to me and advantageous to my friends.
