Aviary in the

Birds like the plants
lodged according to the
Clematis. Not on the
South side but the North,

Plantation thick for shelter
against the North Wind
- with small breaks
in round departures
here and there for prospect
- letting in not
the whole view but
particular objects.
Covered Garden in
the best part of it for
prospect to be enlarged
into a circular area
including a d circular
basin for Gold-Fish
crowned by a Dome -
Glorious, like that of

The pieces
being no bigger than

come by this means
very cheap, and
an accident by
the throwing of a

of no consequence.

Covered Garden
Oval. One side of
a different elevation
from the other: of
such an elevation
that neither shall
impede the prospect
of the other.
Suppose the longer
Axis runs East
& West - Make
the North side for
example look over
the South: and the
South look under
the North.
A very little elevation
t of the
North will be sufficient
to enable a
spectator in the South
side to look under
it. But the elevation
must be more
considerable to enable
a spectator in the
North side to look quite
over the top of the
South side. Of this
elevation however
a good part will
be required to give
sufficient depth of
soil to the North
side.
This will give
ample descent for
the Covered River: so
much as to necessititate
a small cascade
or two.
1a - House -should
it join to the Cold-
-Bath. Rich Solomon.
Rock artificial-
to overhang the
entrance into the
Tunnel -
At the surface
of the water in the
Tunnel must be
as low as high water
mark - there must
at any rate be a
considerable distance
between the surface
of the water and
surface of the
impending ground:
make this level with
the highest point of
the whole land, &
then build the rock
upon it
Material for the rock
be slight wooden frame
as at Ranelagh
Pasteboard or ilcloth
sanded as
at Sewels.
These facing
of real Hous
- of spar as the
Pyramid at Merryworth.
Strata and fissures
not horizontal but
oblique to look more
natural
Small car &
Rock plants
