I2Z The PraBice Part II. 



Caufe a Pole to be held fix Foot beyond it^ which^ accor- 

 ding to the Profil, is the Foot of the Slope, as at C and 

 horning it to the exad Height of the other Stakes, fee it very 

 upright, and work up the Foot of it as before mentioned. 

 Mark upon this Pole downwards, the Height of the Stakes 

 the Thicknefs of the Ruler, and the little Fall for carrying 

 off the Water \ and fetting all tliis from the Top of the Pole, 

 make there a black Mark, which fliall determine the Level- 

 Line : After which, you carry a Pattern-Line from AxoB. 

 Meafure downwards again upon the Pole from this Mark^ 

 the Height the Terrafs ihould have, which is fuppofed to be . 

 loFootj and bank up, or clear away the Earth from the 

 Foot of the Pole, till it be of the right Height ; and ftrain- 

 ing a Cord from the Foot of the Pole C, which determines 

 the Bottom of the Slope, to the Foot of the Stake B above, 

 which determines the Verge, you cut this Bank with the 

 Spade, making a Furrow or Pattern-Line by the Cord i 

 after which, you remove the Level to C, D, &c. where you 

 always perform the fame Work to the very Bottom of the 

 Hill £. 



THE FOURTH PRACTICE. 



T'o drefs the whole Ground of a Wll breadthwife^ by cutting 

 it into TerraJJes^ fupported by Banh and Slopes of Turf. 



To cut the whole Hill A into Slopes, and to drefs it 

 throughout, I fuppofe the Work abovementiorted to be done 

 upon the Profil, from the Building A to the Foot of the 

 riG. VIII- Hill E. You muft then begin to do the fame at the other 

 end F] by making a level Pattern-Line from A to F, as 

 was done in the fecond Practice of this Chapter- Placing 

 the Level at F, you make the fame Stations from Fto 

 from G to H, from Hto 7, and fa to the Bottom, as you 

 did on the other fide from A to F, ftiU obferving the fame 

 Lengths and Breadths of the Flats^ and to make at every 

 Station a very level Patteru-Line from fide to fide. This 

 done, before you cut the Slope, drefs the whole Extent of 

 your Flats throughout, according to the third Practice of 

 the foregoing Chapter*
