The Theory Part L 



The fourth Figure is a Cloifter-Gallery, formed by a 

 ' Palifade cut with Arches. There are Seats in it fet in fuch 

 Manner, that the View from one to the other iscontinu'd a- 

 crofs the Arches. In the Middle of this Cloifter is a Com- 

 partiment after the E?iglijh Manner, edg'd with a Border of 

 Cut-work, and fet out with Shrubs and Flowers, having 

 Bafons at the Ends, which are furrounded likewife with 



the fame Border. 



7Laj?/y, .THE tenth Plate of Groves contains the Defign of 

 a Labyrinth, of a Contrivance entirely new : Tis a large 

 Volute or Spiral Walk, in the Center of which is a Bafon, 

 accompanied with a Hall pierced by eight Walks, which 

 carry you to four Crofs-Ways, from whence you pafs in^ 

 fenfibly into the Windings of the Maze, fet oif with Cabi- 

 nets, tatticed-Arbors, Green-plots, Fountains, Figures, &c, 

 which very agreeably furprize and amufe thofe that have 

 loft their Way in it. The great Number of Alleys, and the 

 various Turnings in the Compofition of this Labyrinth, ren- 

 der it extremely intricate and puzzling, without taking any 

 thing from the Beauty and Regularity of the Defign. Thers 

 is but one Entrance into it, which is alfo the Outlet, where 

 there is placed a Cabinet of Lattice-work, on purpofe to 

 render it ftill more difficult. 



This Labyrinth requires fome room: to be Iiandfomely 

 -executed, and can fcaree be planted in lefs than feven or 

 eight Acres of Ground, without the Alleys, coming too near 

 each other, which would take away the Intricacy of it, and 

 coniequently aUr its Merit*
