There are instances, where pyramids of rock-work are to be seen 

 in open parts of flower-gardens and pleasure-grounds, which, being 

 executed without taste or connexion, appear Hke vmmeaning kimps ; 

 while the same materials and labour, judiciously applied, would form 

 interesting objects. The natural irregularity of rocks will reasonably 

 lead the artist to the formation of irregular and picturesque ob- 

 jects, and when such varied materials are employed to ornament plea- 

 sure-grounds, it is unpardonable not to give all the picturesque effect 

 they may be made to produce. The great diversity of striking 

 forms which may be exhibited by these bold and varied materials, 

 render them desirable in rude and picturesque scenery ; they are 

 pleasing on the smallest scale, if arranged according to nature ; and 

 where the grounds are of great extent, the grandest and most im- 

 posing scenes of an imitative nature may be effected.
