An Arbor is diftinguiftiM from a Cabinet or Summer- 

 Hoiife, in tliat the former is of a great Length, arched over 

 Head in form of a Gallery , and the latter is of a Figure 

 either fquare, circular, or in Cants, making a kind of Salon 

 fit to be fet at the two Ends, or in the Middle of a long 

 Arbor. 



A Portico is flill different from all this ; being the 

 Entrance in Front of a Surnmer-Houfe, Salon, or Arbor of 

 Lattice-work, and is generally adorn'd with a handfome 

 Cornice and Frontifpiece, fupported by Pilafters or Peers ; 

 or elfe it is a long Decoration of ArchiteiSlure placed againft: 

 a Wall, or at the Entrance of a Wood, where the Advances 

 and Returns are but inconfiderable. 



Arbors, Cabinets, and Porticos of Lattice-work^ are 

 commonly made ufe of to terminate a Garden in the City, 

 and to fliut out the Sight of Walls, and other difagreeable 

 Objcd:s J this Kind of Decoration making a handfome Sight, 

 and ferving very well to conclude the Profped of a principal 

 Walk. They are likewife ufed in Groves, Sinkings, and 

 Niches, where Seats and Figures are proper to be fet, and 

 are often covcr'd with Rofe-Trees, Jafmins, Hony-fuckles, 

 and wild Vines, for the Conveniency of Shade. 



Above all, a Portico, or Arbor of Lattice-work, Ihould 

 have a handfome Frontifpiece at Top, that Part being the 

 moft remarkable : Of this you have feveral Examples in the 

 following Plate, which contains all the feveral Sorts of Lat- 

 tice-work, and the moft agreeable Ornaments that can be 

 given them. 



The firft: Figure is the moft magnificent, and compound- 

 ed of all: 'Tis a large Portico of Trellis of the lonick Or- 

 <Jer, confiftingof feveral Coupled Pilafters, which fuftain a 

 handfome Cornice, with a fmall Plinth at Top of it, in man^
