and then into hollows, to take off from the heaviness of the mass. are, however, situations where the convex form should be preferred. hollow just below the brow or a hill reduces it to a narrow ride, which has a poor meagre appearance; and an abrupt fall will neve seem to join wit a concave form immediately above it; a sharp edge dividos then; and to connect then, that edge must be rounded, or at least falttoned; which is, in fact, to interpose a convex or a level.

IV. In made rund, the connection is, perhaps, the principla consideration. A swell which ents it is but a hoop; a hollow but a hole; and both appear artificial; the one seers placed upon a surface to w ich it does not belong; the other dug into it. On the great scale of nature indoed, either may be so considerable in itself, us to make its relation to any other alost a matter of indifference; but on the smaller scale of a garden, if the parts are disjointed, the effect of a whole i lost; and the union of all is not more than sufficient to preserve an id a of Creatness and importance, to spots which must be varied, and as not be soacious. little inequalities are besides in nature usually well blended together; all lines of separation have, in a course of time, leon filled up; and therefore, when in male ground they are left open, that ground appears artificial.

ven where artifice is avowed, a breach in the connection offends the eye. The use of a fosse is rely to provide a fence, without obstructing the view. To blend the garden with the conry is no part of the idea; the cattle, the objects, the culture, without the Dunk Fence, 130 discordant to all within, and k op u the division. fosse wag opon the Most polished lawn to a com-field, : load, of a common, though the Lurk the very point of soparation. It may be made on rurpose to show objects which cannot, or purgat not to be in the garden; as a church, or a mill, a neighbouring gentleman's seat, & toun, or a village; and you no consciousness of the existence can recolle us to to fight of this division The most obvious disguise is to keep the hither above the further bank all the way; so that the latter be s on 55 a 6 petent istanco: but this alone is not always suficien; for a division appears, if an uniformly continued line, however faint, disconible; that lino, therefore, must be broken; low but extended hillocks Lay soletines interrupt it; or the shape on one side may be contimo, across the sun. fence, on the other; as when the ground sinks in the fiel, y botinning the declivity in the garden. rees too without, connected with those within, and seening part of a clump or a grove there, will frecuently obliterate every trace of an interruption. y such of other cans, the line ay bu, and should be, hid or disguised; not for the purpose of cortion, (when all is done we are seldom deceived) but to preserve the continued surface entire.
