THE 
GARDEN ENTRANCES. 
The central view of the great Dome is doubtless the most striking, 
and it is therefore proposed to make an Entrance from the town at the 
spot from whence the sketch N° 3 is taken. Another Entrance to the 
Garden will be very striking from the stable-yard; the long perspective 
through the several arches requires an appropriate termination for the 
centre of the vista; this same porch or entrance forms also the central 
object from the windows of the Pavilion. On one side of the pool is 
also represented the Orchestra or platform for a band of music, which 
is an essential part of the state and pleasure of such a Garden, and to 
which some central spot must be appropriated : the cupola on the chapel 
is not of the same character, and cannot be hid from the garden; the 
appearance of this orchestra will divide the attention, and lessen its 
influence, although it is fortunately not so correct a specimen of Gre- 
cian Architecture as to do much injury by its intrusion. 
In a Garden so surrounded by buildings, it is not to be expected that 
all can be excluded by plantation only; and as in some places architec- 
tural ornaments must be called in aid of vegetation, it becomes necessary 
to determine what style such ornaments should assume, especially as 
these buildings must have a reference to the style of the mansion, as well 
as that of the stables: this naturally leads to the following Enquiry con- 
cerning the various Styles of Architecture which have been at different 
times introduced into England.
