b. Stables, &c.—surrounded with trees and slirubs, A gate opens on the turnpike
toad, as does another oti the kitchesi-garden.
c. Kitchen-Garden—concealed from the lawn by a grove.
d. Orchard. On one side a shrubbery, through which winds a Terpentine walk ; on
the other, a narrow lane, overhung with tall trees. The Orchard, placed in this
situation, viewed from any part of the grounds, cannot fail of having a rich effedt,
and, by giving it the sweep delineated in the plan, occupies a corner that would
otherwise be insufficiently filled.
e. A fmall ruflic Scat—-entering the lawn, composed of branches of trees, and other
productions of the place. The seat is deposited in this situation to command the
water and rising grounds beyond.
f. Root-Houfe. This building perhaps more than any other admits of variety, for which
reason it may be introduced into almost every ornamented ground : the difposal os
parts, the whimsical effedt of the whole, but, above all, the perfedt simplicity
annexed to it, musf render it pleasing to every admirer of tafie.
g. Tetnple of Contemplation. The extensivc view, the pi&uresque seenery, and the
various objedts of grandeur beneath the eye from this spot, which charm when-
ever beheld, render it particularly applicable to a retreat of this deseription. It
may be a square building, with a light Ionic portico, and other ornaments of the
same order; within, on a tablet, an appropriate inseription from Milton :
“ These are thy glorious works,” &c.
h. Bridge. Nothing can be more varied than communications of this nature : to the
tafie of the improver, therefore, musf be submitted the design ; but when, as in
the present case, a foot bridge is only required, its constru&ion cannot be too
simple.
i. Temple dedicated to Repofe. The secluded situation of this spot, the solemnity os the
surrounding seene, the fiillness of the water, overhung with the weeping willow,
the acacia, united with others of a more umbrageous.foliage, and the rising ground
beyond {hutting out every view, expressly determine the dedication of this interefi-
ing spot. The building itself simple, unadorned, composed of rude materials,
and covered with ivy. Nothing is to be admitted that can possibly injure the
• charadler of the place.

I. K. Line defer ibing firss SeB tonal Geometrical Vi ecu—gives an opportunity by

the water, of which a glimpse is here obtained with the house on its
summit, decked with plantations, and admitting a view in the difiance.
The Temple of Repose is perceived on the banks of the water, embosomed
in the lofty grove.
