C H A P. III. of Gardening. 



Group of Figures, as Neptune with Tritons throwing one 

 great Spout, and many leiTcr every way. At each End of 

 tliis Canal, the Walls are opened, with wet Ditches, to 

 preferve the Profpeft. Farther on are two large Woods of 

 high Trees cut into a Star, the Alleys of which arc dou- 

 ble, and planted with Trees that ftand detached. In the p^. Arbrcs 

 middle of thefe Woods are two different Ides with Figures i^oies, i.e. 

 and Yews. At the End of the great Walk, and beyond ftaZmin^ 

 thefe Woods, you meet witb a low Terrafs-Wall, from rdHfadc, or 

 whence you have a View of the Country round about ^ a f^^fi^'^-^; 

 wet Ditch runs the whole Length of this Wall j and in the yll mlyl^ 

 Front of the Half-Moon, at the End of the great Walk, is founithcm. 

 made a Cafcade, which has three Mask-heads, and a Sheet 

 ^of Water, that falls again into a Water-work of two Jets, 

 the Water of which comes from the Canal, and fupplies all 

 the Ditch without the Garden. A Termination of this Kind 

 is certainly the moft magnificent that can be ^ and, without 

 •enlarging farther upon the fine Lines and Views from one 

 End of the Garden to the other, and the Convenience of 

 the Parts, together with what is to be found in the feveral 

 Alleys, Figures, Fountains, Openings, Grills, and the like, 

 it muft be acknowledged this Defign is fufficient to fatisfy 

 -any one in its Difpofition, Variety, Ornaments, and Diftri- 

 bution of the Water. 



The fecond Plate gives the Idea of a Garden, in its Kind 

 aiot much inferior to the other, but nothing near fo large^ 

 -containing no more than 25 Acres : It is feated in a Ground 

 divided into Terraffes that face the Building, which is 

 here fuppofed to be planted in the niidft of a Park, or 

 Country, where the Lines of the Walks are continued 

 quite through the Woods and Fields. You enter into a 

 handfome Fore-Court with Grafs-Plots, and a Fence of 

 Wood, which on the Left leads to a large Kitchen-Garden, 

 parted into fix Squares, with a Bafon ; and on the Right in- 

 to a Bafs-Court, furrounded with Buildings ; from whence 

 you pafs into another Court, where is a Wat' ring-Place, 

 and a Dove-Houfe, with other Convenienciesi you enter 

 -this Court likewife from the Fields, and it ferves as a Store- 

 Yard to the Bafs-Court. Above is a Parterre of Orangc-
