face of a Man, and feme of a Satj^r ; and they are placed upon Pe- 
deftals two yards high. All thefe i4^all{s are twenty two, or twenty 
four foot broad ; they are green in the middle, and on each fide of 
the Green they are plain Earth ungraveiled, according to the Dutch 
cuftom, to about four foot and a half breadth on each fide of the 
Green. The Hedges of all thefe Walks do confift of Trees both great 
and ('mail, planted clofe together. Here are alfo other handfome long • 
Wdlkj in the Park, that are not mentioned ; befides Brookj, and Fifo^ 
^onds within the Grove on the fides of the Long Canal. 
There is one thing more very remarkable in thefe many Foun- 
tains and Cafeades that have been deferibed ; as that they are fup- 
plied with a natural conveyance of Water that does conftantly run, 
and is nor forc’d up with Engines into great Ciflerns, where it mult 
foon corrupt and ftink, if not quickly difeharged. Whence it comes 
to pals, that the famous Water-voorkj at Verf aides have in this regard 
a very great difadvantage and inconvenience, becaufe they foon con- 
tra< 5 t corruption, and after they are forc’d to play, are found to caufe 
an ill ftench in the Gardens. Whereas at Loo the Water is always 
fweet, and there is no need of Commands, or Preparations for a 
Day or two before, in order to make it run. 
Thefe Gardens in the whole are a Woric-of wonderful Magnifi^ 
cence, moll worthy of fo Great a Monarch ; a Work of prodigious 
Expence, infinite Variety, and Curiofity ; and after nine years la- 
bour by abundance of Workmen they were fome years ago intirely 
finifhed, and brought to perfedion in all refpeds. 
I Ihould here conclude this Defeription, if I did not judge it may 
be acceptable to give a Ihort account of fix Vivers, or Fifh-ponds, 
which His Majefty has caufed to be made in the Heath, beyond the 
Gardens. When I was at Loo, two years fince, there were about two 
hundred Perfons employed in the making the faid Fivers, which are 
fince finilhed. They are fituated on theEaft-fide of that Walk which 
is continued from the end of the Zipper Garden, between Lime-trees, 
pnto a Pyramid that is ereded half a Mile off in the Heath. 
The firft of thefe Fivers is about twenty yards diftant from the 
Lime-trees, and is eight hundred and forty foot, or two hundred and 
eighty yards in length. And it is two hundred and forty foot, or 
fourfeore yards in breadth. 
All the Jix Fivers do lye Eaftward of one another, and the Water 
is conveyed from one to another, after the manner as in the Fifh~ 
ponds in Hide-parl(. To the firft there is made a fubterranean Paf- 
fage, built of Brick, from the Canal that runs at the North-end of 
the Great Garden, by the which Paftage the Water is brought into 
the firft Fiver, and from that let into the others. 
The fecond Fiver is in length fix hundred and twelve foot, or 
two hundred and four yards 5 and it is two hundred and forty foot, 
or fourfeore yards broad.
