a. Houfe„
b. Stable, c'3c. Hid from the grounds by a plantation, and approached by a road
overshadowed with tall trees.
c. Kitchen-Garden. Screened in the same manner. An opening in the stirubbery,
however, admits a view down the principal walk, on each side of which the beds
are arranged.
d. Orchard. This, from the Cottage, has an interesting appearance; it was placed
there to hide the extremity, and to confine the eye to a ruined tower, to a river
meandering through the vale below, and to distant mountains seen from the house
across the lawn.
e. A Seat—composed of rude materials, situated under trees,. From this spot is seen an
extensive distant country, adorned with water, hanging woods, See.
f Root-Houfe—built os roots of trees and thatched; the inside lined with moss. Ivy
creeps over the door, along with the honeysuckle and jessamine. A tablet and two
rustic benches constitute its furniture; on the former an appropriate inscription.
g. A Bridge. A few large stones supporting a plank or two, with a rail on one side,
will generally be found sufficient for such a situation. It accords with simplicity,
and is therefore infinitely more attractive than a formal structure.
h. ‘Temple of Concord. A small square building. The walls emblematically painted in
fresco. From the windows a most extensive view, particularly of objects in the
distance sereened from the house by the orchard.
i. A Seat in a sequestered situation. On the opposite side of the walk, under cypress
and ssowering shrubs, an urn dedicated to Friendstiip.

Concord, and distant country.

surrounded with trees; the lawn, the fence bounding the same; a bend
of the serpentine walk, with part of the orchard, and the distant country.
