DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES. 91 



PLATE IV. 



Is intended to show the means by which an unsightly mass of 

 Earth, or an incongruous piece of Rock, covered with a clump, 

 may be converted into an interesting feature in the Decorations 

 of a Villa. It shows the effect of judiciously cutting away parts 

 of the wood to obtain prospects ; and it exhibits the improve- 

 ments which may be made by Planting a few Flowering Shrubs, in 

 agreement with the change of scene thus effected, and described 

 in Essay VI. 



PLATE V. 



Represents the pleasing effect which may be produced by the Fall 

 of a Sheet of Water over masses of Rock. In this Scene the 

 trees are intended to be shown as having been planted expressly 

 to exhibit the wildness of Natural Scenery, as alluded to in 

 Essay V. 



PLATE VI. 



Shows the effect of opening a Belt, by judiciously thinning the 

 Trees ; and by the introduction of some of different species ; through 

 which, as through a vista, the preferable parts of the Scenery, near 

 or remote, may be seen, as described in Essay VII.
