presumed would often happen from its near affinity to the house, and from
its enjoying moil exquisite scenery, only to be commanded from that particular
spot.
n. Lodge at Entrance—A Gothic building adjoining the turnpike-road. Edisices of
this nature are so frequent and so varied, that taste cannot err in the choice : neat
iron gates divide the coach, from the turnpike, road; this, together with the
shrubberies and plantations, kept in the highest order of neatness and propriety,
mu st irhpart a cheerfulness which it is presumed will accompany the stranger
during his tour through the grounds.
o. The Cottage—In ornamented farms, when their extent is yet but moderate, to keep up
that propriety in the whole, and the neatness requisite to ensure approbation,
the presence of the labourer is generally necestary; to render his habitation useful,
as well as ornamental, will be undoubtedly the wissi of every proprietor: hence
proceeds the pi&uresque dwelling covered with trees, and surrounded by every
convenience, not only for the inhabitant himfelf, but for the ground he is to
improve.
Respetfting the cottage in question, it is a simple edifice, Gothic windows
with a treillis covering the walls. The turf in front kept perfectly smooth, and
under one of the majestic trees, which shadow the house, is a rustic seat: a little
garden is added to this cot, and a convenient yard behind, where poultry may
be reared, or, when taken from the farm-yard, there fattened for the table. In the
field adjoining, the labourer would, doubtless, be permitted by an humane master
to feed his cow: this might enable his little family, in some respest, to partake of
the bounties he sees lavished around him, and induce a daily return to his toil, and
to the care of the walks, &c. with cheerfulness and content.
