28 The Theory . Part I.
Group of Figures, as Neptune with Tritons throwing one
great Spout, and many leffer every way. At each End of
this Canal, the Walls are opened, with wet Ditches, to pre-
ferve the Proipeft. Further are two large Woods of high
Trees cut into Stars, the Alleys of which are double, and
planted with Trees that ftand detached, with a Carpet of Turf
running through the whole, whence they take the Name of
*Tr. Arbres Green Walks. * In the middle of theft Woods are twodiffe-
Trtesthlt rent ^an(^s w*tn Figures and Yews. At the End of the great
jiand not in» Walk beyond theft Woods, you meet with a low Terrafs-
vdifcde or Wall, from whence you have a View of the Country round
iut%e!fias about; a wet Ditch runs the whole Length of this Wall;
yeH™.ay,g0 and in the Front of the Half-Moon, at the End of the great
Walk, is made a Cafcade, which has three Mask-heads, and
a Sheet of Water, that falls again into a piece Water that has
two Jets, the Water of which comes from the Canal, andfiip-
plies all the Ditch without the Garden. A Termination of
this kind is certainly the moft magnificent that can be; and,
without enlarging farther upon the fine Lines and Views from
one End of the Garden to the other, and the Harmony of the
Parts, together with what one difcoversih~-fche ftveral Alleys,
as Figures, Fountains, Openings, Grills, and the like, itmuft
be acknowledged this Defign is lufficient tofatisfyany one in
itsDiipofition, Variety, and Diftribution of its Ornaments and
Water, which come from a Refervior without the Park.
The ftcond Plate gives the Idea of a Garden, in Beauty
not much inferior to the other, but nothing near lb large, con-
taining no more than 25 Acres: It is ftated in a Ground divi-
ded into TerrafTes in Front of the Building, which is herefirp-
poftd to be planted in the midftof a Park, or Country, where
the Lines of the Walks are continued quite through the Woods
and Fields. You enter into a handfome Fore-Court fet off
with Grafs-Plots, and a Fence of Wood, which on the Left
leads to a large Kitchen-Garden, parted into fix Squares, with
a Balbn : and on the Right into a Bafs-Court, iurrounded
with Buildings ; from whence you pais into another Court,
where is a Wat'ring Place, and a~Dove-Houft, with other
Conveniences ; you enter this Court likewife from the Coun-
try, and it ftrves as a Store-Yard to the Bafs-Court. Beyond
