still continue to be formed in the same manner, whatever may 

 be the natural character of the situation. Plate XXII. is a 

 general view of a residence laid out in this style in 1804-5. 

 Plates XV. fig. 1. XVI. fig. 1. and Plates XXIV. XXVII. 

 and XXIX. represent smaller parts, or landscapes from real 

 scenery, laid out in this style. 



CHAPTER IV. 



THE CHARACTERISTIC* OR NATURAL STYLE RECOMMENDED 

 IN THIS WORK, AND ADOPTED BY THE AUTHOR IN 

 HIS PRACTICE. 



Figure IV. represents the mode in which I should wish such 

 a situation as fig. 1. formed into a residence. The house is 

 placed on the abrupt termination of the rising grounds — all the 



verbal ; for in all the places where Mr. Repton's plans have been followed, it is quite 

 impossible to distinguish his operations from those of Mr. Brown's. — See Woo- 

 burn, Thoresby, &c. and also Appendix, No. II. 



* I call it characteristic, because its leading principle is to create or heighten 

 natural character. The other styles effect directly the reverse — they produce a 

 monotony of artificial character.
