 indofed with 

 Walls as our

 J^oujes ufually

 Qpe7t a t top ; 

 and in thefe

 dance by the 

 Light of 



fay, this Subjea is now fo exhaufted, that the Contrivanee 

 C)f thefe ten Plates is not to be out-done. 



The firft Plate contains two Defigns of Forefts^ cut thi'O*' 

 in the beft and moft magnificent Manner. 



The firft Figure defcribes a Wood pierced with a double 

 Star, having a great Hall in the Middle, adorn d with a 

 Water-work that has three Jets or Spouts, and four other: 

 Bafons fo difpofed in the Wood, that the Spouts of them^ 

 range with thofe of the great Water-work, which makes a 

 fine Sight, when in walking you difcover three Spouts at 

 leaft in every Alley, in fome five, and at each End of the 

 Middle-walk you fee all the feven : Befides which Orna- 

 ments, this Wood is pierced to fuch Advantage, that which 

 way foever you turn yourfelf, you have three Walks at leaft 

 that face you, and form a Goofe-foot, and fo at the eight 

 Entrances : A little forwarder you find fmall Crofs-waySs 

 with four Alleys ; and in the great ones, which are fet out 

 with Bafons and Yew-Trees, there are fix Walks that meet 

 in a Center, and compofe Stars. The eight principal Walks^, 

 you may obferve, are made wider than the others. This 

 ingenious Compofition renders the Wood as pleafant as cao: 

 be, though there be no Cabinets nor Galleries contrived ia 

 it^ as in the other Defign by the Side of it. 



The fecond Figure fliews another Wood cut into a fingle- 

 Star, with a great Hall likewife in the Middle, and a Water- 

 work adorned with one large Spout, which is feen from 

 eight Walks : Near the Middle of thefe, you find a great 

 Oval, the Circular-Walks of which ftrike into thofe of the 

 Star, and have their Points cut off, to make eight Crofs 

 Ways. In walking round this Oval, you find other Walks^ 

 that lead you into eight Cabinets, or Groves, all different: 

 one from another. The firft Cabinet, beginning below upon ' 

 the Right Hand, is a great Circle of Horn-beam cut witb 

 Niches for Seats and Shrubs ^ in the Middle is an 0(5logone 

 funk hollow, otherwife calfd a Bowling-green. The fe- 

 cond going higher, confifts of three fmall Pieces that run 

 one into the other, the Middle one of which is an oblong. 

 Square fet out with Yews, and the two at the Ends are of 

 a circular Form^, with Benches* The third Cabinet is a
