also given in the book referred to, but our space precludes it 
on this occasion. The subjoined engraving represents a fountain 
and rockery executed for Edwin Harford, Esq. by Mr. Roe ; with 
respect to which we only regret that the sketch does not include 
a more extended view of the spot, as much of the effect is lost
