w o 



three good Handfuls put into each 

 Cask, according to their feveral 

 Sizes : for want of this, many times 

 People make ufe of other things, 

 which are by no means fo proper for 

 this Purpofe. 



When the Wine has remained one 

 Year upon the Lees, it is commonly 

 drawn oft into other Veff.-ls; but 

 when this is done, it may not be im- 

 proper to add a Quantity of dried 

 Grapes, or Raifins of the Sun, fuffi.- 

 cient for the Wine to feed upon ; 

 but great Care muft be had, that the 

 Quantity is not fo great, as to raife 

 a new Fermentation in the Wine, 

 which will endanger its turning acid. 

 About fix or feven Pounds of thefe, 

 clean picked from Stalks, will be 

 fufficient for one Hogfhead of Wine, 

 and more may be prejudicial. 



the Wine will fubfide in the 

 VeiTeU during its Continuance there- 

 in; fo it is the ufual Method, to 

 re-fill the VefTels from time to time 

 with fome Wine, as nearly like the 

 Sort a - pofiible ; for if it is of a dif- 

 ferent Nature from that in the Vef- 

 fels, or much newer, it will often 

 excite a Fermentation, which will 

 prove hurtful to the Wii e : therefore, 

 when there is wanting a Supply of 

 proper Wine, it will be a good Me- 

 thod to fill up the VefTel with fmall 

 Pebbles cleanly walhed, which is 

 what I have known practifed with 

 Succefs 



WOODS and Groves are the 

 greateft Orraments to a Country- 

 feat ; therefore every Seat is greatly 

 defective without them ; Wood and 

 Water being abfolutely neceflary to 

 render a Place agreeable and plea- 

 fant, Where there are Woods al- 

 ready grown to a large Size, fo fitua- 

 ted as to be taken into the Garden, 

 or fo nearly adjoining, as that an 

 eafy Communication may he made 

 from the Garden to the Wood ; they 



w o 



may be fo contrived by cutting a 

 winding Walks thro' them, as to 

 render them the moll delightful and 

 pleafant Parts of a Seat (efpeciallyin 

 the Heat of Summer), when thofe 

 Walks afford a goodly Shade from 

 the fcorching Heat of the Sun. 



As I have already treated of the 

 Ufe and Beauty of Wilderneffes, and 

 have given Directions for the. making 

 and planting of them ; I (hall not 

 inlarge much upon that Head in this 

 Place : therefore I fhall only give 

 fome Ihort Inftruclions for the cut- 

 ting and making of thefe Wood- 

 walks in thofe Places where Perfons 

 are fo happy as to have any grown 

 Woods, fo fituated as to be near the 

 Habitation, and are either taken in* 

 to the Garden, or Walks made from 

 the Houfe.or Garden, leading tci 

 them ; as alio how to plant and de- 

 corate the Sides of thefe Walks witn 

 Shrubs and Flowers, fo as to render 

 them agreeable and pleafant. 



Where Perfons have the Conve- 

 nience of grown Woods near the 

 Habitation, fo as that th-re may 

 be an eafy Communication from 

 one to the other, there will be 

 little Occafion for Wilderneffes s 

 in the Garden ; fince the natural 

 Woods may be fo contriv'd, as to 

 render them much pleafanter than 

 any new Plantation can polfibly ar- 

 rive to within the Compafs of twenty 

 Years, where the Trees make the 

 greateft Progrefs in their Growth ; 

 and in fuch Places where their 

 Growth is flow, there cannot be ex- 

 pected Shade equal to the grown 

 Woods, in double that Number of 

 Years : but there is not only the 

 Pleafure of enjoying a prefent Shade 

 from thefe Woods, but alfo a great 

 Expence faved in the planting of 

 Wilderneffes ; which, if they are 

 large, and the Trees to be purchas'd, 

 will amount to no fmall Sum.
