7he Theory Part L 



The Hall in the firft Figure is the moft magnificent. It 

 is fuppofed to ftand in the middle of a great Wood, and to^ 

 have but two Entrances however, if the Place require it^ 

 you may make four, taking away the Cabinets at the twa 

 Ends, which will not in the leaft impair its Beauty. It con- 

 tains about an Acre and a half, but may bepra^tis'd in half 

 that Ground, upon Occafion. It is ornamented with four 

 Bafons in a Line one with another, having Benches (ct fo as. 

 to face each Walk, and to range with the Jets of the Bafons^ 

 The middle Piece is a large Green-plot, whofe Angles be- 

 ing canted off, make four Oftogones at the Corners of the 

 Hall, which are completed by the Palifade. The reft is fuf- 

 iciently explain'd by the Defign itfelf. 



The fccond Figure is likewife a great Hall differing from- 

 the other, in tliat it is fitviated in a great Piece of Grafs-work^, 

 though it may alfo be fet in the Middle of a Wood. This 

 Hall is a long Square, with a Sweep at the Ends, where are 

 Blade two Odangular Bafons, in the Center of which the 

 Diagonal Entrances of the Hall meet, and are terminated* 

 There are Figures placed at the Ends, and two Seats at 

 each Corner of the Hall, which is border'd only with Grafs* 

 work and Trees, without any Palifade or Path behind 

 them* 



The fourth Figure, which I fliall explain before the. 

 third, becaufe of the Relation it has to the two preceding^, 

 is a little Hall very plain, furrounded with a Palifade Breaft- 

 high, with Trees planted in it at proper Diftances. It is 

 placed as the other was, in Green-plots, but thefe are di-^ 

 vided from the Palifade by a rolled Walk. In the Middle 

 is a Statue, which anfwers the Line of the Walks and 

 Benches. 



In the third Figure you have a Wood planted in Quin-^ 

 cunce, with a Hall and Cabinets that make a Comparti- 

 ment, which will appear a very new Contrivance ; Defigns- 

 of this Sort ufually confifting of great Parallel-walks only^ 

 planted checker-wife, without any other Ornaments. Tho"".' 

 there be contrived a Hall in the Middle of this, with a Ba-^ 

 fon and Cabinets that form a Cloifter,, and ftrike one into 

 another^ itneverthelefs deftroys nothing of the Quincunce^,
