The fourth Figure is a great cirGular Niche very rich, 

 throughout, its Jambs being full of Ornaments, and crown'd 

 with a fine arched. Cornice, which encompaffes a Shell 

 formed by feveral Ribs. The Hollow of the Niche is filled 

 with a Buffet of Water, confifting of a Vafe, or great Salver^, 

 the Cup of which refts upon Scrolls- made by Dolphins-Tails,, 

 and the Water falls by two Sheets into the Bafon below.. 

 This Niche would do very well in a Wood^ or at the End 

 of fonie Walk, where the Profpe^t can be continued no far-* 

 th^r.. 



The Salon in the fifcli Figure ferves. for. a Portico andi 

 Entrance to a long Arbor, in. which 'tis fuppofed to Hand J 

 Ir is very plain in its Ornaments,, confifting of no more tharil 

 two Jambs,_ with an Arch adorn'd with. Imports, and a cir- 

 Gular kind of Architrave i the whole crown'd with a trian- 

 gular Pedament, upon which rifes a Dome arched over,, 

 and open at Top. 



I THINK it needlefs to give you here any Defigns^

 (igns,. and place them as Occafion requires.. 



Let us now proceed to otlier Ornaments, that contribute:

Omitting thole of Greens, as-Palifades,. Halls, for Co- 

 medy and Ball, Galleries, Amphitheatres, &c. of which t- 

 fiave ipoken before, and which are indeed the moll eifentiaL 

 Ol-naments, as they add a Value to all the reft I fliall fpeak ofir: 

 fuch only as are Accelfory or Additional^ as thefe that follow;*^. 



Fountains, next to Plants, are the principal Ornaments-- 

 of Gardens :. 'Tis thele that feem to animate them, by the. 

 murmuring and fpouting of their. Waters, and produce thofe 

 admirable Beauties, that the Eye is fcarce ever iatisfied witbi 

 beholding them. They are conftautly fet in the moft^ ad--;. 

 uantageou^- Place^ and where tlie.y may be belt fcen front*.'
