4<* The Theory Part I.
The rirft Plate that follows, is a large Parterre of Em-
broidery mix'd with Knots of Grafs-work, and environ'd
with a Flower-Border fet off with Yews and Shrubs. This
Defign, tho' entire, and not cut in the Middle, is here fup-
pofed to be repeated on the other Side, with a Counter-walk
of flowering Shrubs and Yews, and a great Balbn at the End,
which is uiually made when the Place will admit of it. The
Scroll that you lee at one of its Corners, may poffibly look
Ibmewhat extraordinary ; but when you conlult the general
Plan, Chap. III. Fig. i. from whence this is drawn, you'll
fee the good Effect it makes with what is repeated on the
Corner of the Parterre of Compartiment that is by it. This
angular Scroll may be fet afide, if you make ufe of this De-
fign for one Square only, and its Place fupplied by adding a
Sprig, and making a Sweep at the Head of it for a circular
Walk round the Balbn. The Knots and Scrolls of Grafs-
work throw out all the Sprigs and Palm-Leaves of this Em-
broidery yery naturally, which is ealily difcovered by the
Interruption of the Border upon the Fore-part.
The fecond Plate fhews a long Parterre of Comparti-
^ ment, with a Balbn in the Middle, liirrounded with a Border
of Cut-work, as are thofe Borders likewiie upon the Sides,
where they proceed to join the Scroll-work of the other Bor-
ders that form the Compartiment. The reft of the Space is
filled with Shells and Grals-work, and the two Extremities
with Cartoozees of Embroidery, which make a very agree-
able Mixture. There alfo branch out fmall Sprigs and Husks
from the feveral Scrolls of the Borders : The Ground of this
i^.Ciment. Parterre is laid with Sand, and the Paths with * powdered
Tile, or Brick-dufl. It is accompanied with two Walks of
Trees that fland detached, and four Vales at the Corners.
The Parterre of the third Plate is one of the richeft that
can be; 'tis alfo in Compartiment, but can be put in execution
only in a large iquare Place. It confifts of four Cartoozes of
Embroidery in its Fronts, and Shells of Grafs-work at the
four Corners, all landed with Variety of Colours, and edged
with Lines of Box. In the Middle is a Balbn furrounded with
a Border of Cut-work, garnifhed with Yews and Shrubs,
with Flower-plots let upon Plinths of Stone. The outer
Borders are broke off in Front by each Cartooze, and at the
Cor-
