Hints on ornamental gardening : consisting of a series of designs for garden buildings, useful and decorative gates, fences, railroads, &c., accompanied by observations on the principles and theory of rural improvement, interspersed with occasional remarks on rural architecture. . ROAD and as is exhibited more at large in Plate I., all the objectionsbefore stated are thereby avoided. The radial lines have here the greatest length that can beobtained; they diverge from points situate in the building mostfavourable to command views within its own compass of domain,and present the amplest opportunities for ornamental improve-ment, and the creation of variety and change which is essentialto perfection in GENERAL PLAN. 37 PLATE I. A GENERAL PLAN. UPON the principle laid down in the last diagram, thegeneral plan represented in the annexed plate is formed. Theshadowed surface indicates that the ground is undulating, andthat the house is situated on its highest point, sufficiently in viewfrom without, and capable of commanding its own domain ;the fly leaf shews the circumstances of the spot prior to theimprovement suggested. Although the ground was not of the precise form or propor-tion of the engraving, suiting it to the page has not altered itscharacter. A large barn or stable was situated near the presentlodge, and the lower ground was wholly occupied by the manu-facture of tiles and red pottery; which, in the course of theworkable strata, materially added to its undulations, and in-creased a small running brook to irregular holes and ponds.
