 only are taken away in the Middle, and at the Corners, to

The ninth Plate gives you the Idea of four Pieces of 

 Garden-work very extraordinary, and yet very magnificent 

 in their Kind, which are thofe we call Cloifters, 



The firft Figure is the plaineft of all, and is a greae 

 fquare Grafs-plot, with a Statue in the Middle of it, fur- 

 rounded with a double Walk, open'd againft the Lines of 

 tlie other Walks, and againft the Seats. This Cloifter is in 

 the Midft of a Wood, and you come to it by four Diago- 

 nal Walks, that lead to Crofs-Ways, adorn'd with Green- 

 plots. 



The fecond Figure reprefents a Cloifter of a circular 

 Form, fituated in a Wood, having an eight-corner'd Bafon^,' 

 furrounded with Arbors made of the Trees plalhed one 

 over the other, and confined by Poles, Hoops, and ftrong 

 Lattice-work, -fixed with Iron-Wire. The four Walks 

 that lead to it, are likewife clofe Arbors j and on each 

 Side is a fmall rolled Path that forms the Counter-walkj^ 

 and parts the Arbors from the Palifade of the Wood. 



In the third Figure you fee a very magnificent Cloifter^^ 

 <liffering from the others, in that 'tis fetin the Middle of a 

 Grafs-plot, though it may alfo be placed in a Wood. 'Tis 

 a large Odogone of an oblong Figure^ cover'd with Ar- 

 bors of Lattice-work, having four Cabinets that face the 

 Walks which lead to it. The Middle of this Cloifter is 

 funk below the reft, and you go down to it by three Courfes 

 of Steps of Mafonry, or Grafs, if you pleafe. The Bot- 

 tom of it is beautified with a Grafs-plot, and four fmall 

 -Fountains in Buffets, made upon the Steps fronting each 5?^^-
