The Theory Part I. 



Niches and Figures, which are feen from the Walks round 

 the Walls and from the diagonal Alleys of the Wood. 



In the fecond Figure is reprefented a Garden fomewhat 

 more magnificent than the foregoing, and half as big again: 

 The Building here is likewife detached, but confifts of a 

 great double Pavilion, with four Defcents of Steps ; one of 

 which faces the Court before it, which is flanked by two 

 Wings of Building, inclofing on one Side a Kitchen-Garden, 

 and on the other a Bafs-Court, through which you pafs into 

 a higher Court, where is a Square of Water, that ferves as 

 a Head to the other Bafons of the Garden j the two Sides 

 of the Houfe look, one upon a Parterre after the EngliJJo 

 Manner, and the other upon a Bowling-green, each of them 

 having the Ornament of a Bafon. Thefe two Pieces are at- 

 tended with double Walks, terminated by Ditches, for the 

 Advantage of the Profpeft. In the chief Front ot the 

 Buildin<^ is one great Square of Parterre of Embroidered 

 Work, °with two Walks garniflied with Cafes and Yews, 

 which' anfwer the Pavilions of the Wings of the Court. 

 Upon the Sides of the Parterre you meet with two Groves j 

 one opened in Compartiment, the other planted in Quin- 

 -cunce ; both cut into Stars, and adorned with Figures. Be- 

 yond thefe Groves is made a great Crofs-Walk, as ufual, 

 terminated by Grills, and difclofing the great Bafon at the 

 End of the Parterre. 



Beyond this Bafon, and this Walk, there is fuppofed 

 to be a gentle Fall of Ground going down to the two 

 Groves of tall Trees, which has obliged me to fuftain the 

 Earth by a fmall Wall, with two Defcents of Steps facing 

 the Counter- Walks of the Parterre. This Wall runs no 

 farther than the Breadth of the Middle Opening, and you 

 go dov^rn to the Woods by eafy Slopes of Earth. Between 

 the Stairs there is a fmall Cafcade, made by three Mask- 

 Heads, the Water of which comes from the Bafon, and 

 makes a Sheet into the Canal, which runs the whole Length 

 of the great Walk. This Canal is made with a Sweep at 

 the upper End, and is accompanied with two double Walks 

 .planted with Yews, rangin_g with thofe of the Parterre i
