34 The Theory Part L
Walks, and with Hedges againft the Walls, which are cut
off by Grills anfwering the Lines of the Walks, or by Walls
level with the Ground, and trenched; which make a noble
Opening, as well at the end of the Canal, as againft the two
fides of the Building.
Tho'I had periuaded myfelf, that thefe four Plates of
general Defigns would have latisfied every body, I have,
however, been obliged to add a fifth, to anfwer the Objec-
tions made by ibme Perlbns, that the Defigns offered in this
Work were all made for regular Situations j and that it would
be a frefh Difficulty to adapt thefe, or invent others for Grounds
that are irregular, and bounded by feveral oblique and flan-
ting Lines. This, indeed, requires fome Skill and Applica-
tion ; however, 'tis hoped the following Hate will be iatis-
faclory therein. It is impoffible to find Places upon the
Ground fo very much askew and irregular as thefe ; one ne-
ver meets with fo great a number of Bevellings, lb particular,
and of all Forms that can be imagined, as is here done on
purpofe, that nothing might be wanting in this Point. Be-
fides which, for every one's further Satisfaction, there are
Ibrne Slopings made in the Plates of Parterres and Groves.
This Plate contains two finall general Plans fit for the
ufe of private Perlbns : That of the firft Figure is about four
Acres, and includes as large and as regular Pieces as can be,
in a Ground fo bevelling and extraordinary. The Approach
is rendred Hoping by a Building and Walls of the Neighbour-
hood, which arc Inconveniencies not to be remedied, and which
one muffc fubmit to as well as one can. Before the Court the
Ground is opened with a Half-moon, which is completed by
Trees planted on the other fide, with the end of an Avenue,
facing the Entrance ; and this ferves inftead of a Fore-
Court.
You have, at the firft, a Court proportionable to the
Building, which is a double Pavilion wkh a Roof a la Man-
farde. The two Gates of Communication made in the Walls
of the Court, lead on one fide into a imall Bals-Court, where
t>herc are contrived Buildings at each end as the Sloping would
give leave ; and on the other,, into a Kitchenr-Ground of a
reafbnable Size, and well enough placed with regard to the
neighbouring Buildings i It is cut into four irregular Quar-
ters,
