Chap. III. of Gardening. Ill 



make ufe of the Corner Stake according to the third 

 Pra^Stice of the preceding Chapter ^ and make a Pattern- 

 Line or Furrow from A to F, planting a Stake at jR, which 

 muft be brought to the exad Height of that at A^ for fetting 

 the Rule and Level upon it, as you fee at F; tl>en going 

 down the Hill from F to make the fame Number of Sta- 

 tions as you did at the other End from A toB, always ob- 

 fcrving to make the Tertalfes of the fame Lengths and 

 Breadths, as near as poffible ; and at every Station carrying 

 a Level Line acrofs from one Pole to the other, as from B 

 to G, from Cto H, and from D to /, to regulate the Level 

 of each Flat. This done, you lay the whole Extent of thefe 

 Terralfes to rights, by the Help of FuiTows and Patter^i- 

 Lines made down the Middle, and from Side to Side, an- 

 fwering the Level of the two Lines at the Extremities A and 

 jF, according to the third Practice of the foregoing Chapter. 



Observation. 



You cannot finifli the Verge-Line of the Terraffes till after 

 ■the Walls are built : When that is done, you may fill up the 

 Holes to the Level of the Ground, whith is ufually kept for 

 the laft Work, to take up the Earth that may poffibly remain 

 to be difpofed o£ 



THE THIRD PRACTICE. 



"To cut a Hill lengthwife into Terraffes^ [upported by Banh 



and Slopes of Turf. 



If, by reafon of the Expence, you would not fuftaiii 

 your Terraffes with Walls, but content yourfelf with cut- 

 ting the Ground into Slopes, which is the fecond Manner 

 of making the Hill prafticable. Fig. i. place your Le- 

 vel at the Foot of the Building i^, according to the firft 

 Pra-fttce of this Chapter, Fig. 5. and meafure upon the 

 Prefil, Fig. 3. the Length of the upper Terrafs, which is 

 quoted 3 o Fathom , carry this Meafure from the Foot of the 

 Building and plant a Stake at the Extremity of it^ as at 

 which fliall terminate the Verge of the firft Slope*
