עמוד 6 - Thus was this place A happy rural seat of various view : Groves whose rich trees wept odorous gums and balm, Others whose fruit burnish'd with golden rind Hung amiable, Hesperian fables true, If true, here only, and of delicious taste. Betwixt them lawns, or level downs, and flocks Grazing the tender herb, were interposed...
עמוד 6 - Others whose fruit, burnished with golden rind, Hung amiable — Hesperian fables true, If true, here only — and of delicious taste. Betwixt them lawns, or level downs, and flocks Grazing the tender herb, were interposed, Or palmy hillock; or the flowery lap Of some irriguous valley spread her store, Flowers of all hue, and without thorn the rose.
עמוד 1 - Grove nods at grove ; each alley has its brother, And half the platform just reflects the other.
עמוד 50 - This species, commonly raised for the table (Fig. 319), consists of a footstalk, or stipes, ranging from an inch and a half to two inches and a half in height.
עמוד 15 - Fig. 4, side view. It now begins to spin its cocoon by attaching a silken thread to the silky mass by which it had previously fastened itself to the caterpillar, and forming a series of loops of uniform size, first from right to left and then back again from left to right, as represented in the front view, Fig.
עמוד 29 - ... the lake appears embosomed in surrounding slopes on all sides. This is the character which all made pieces of water should bear; because if their surface appears higher or even as high as any of the adjacent ground seen at the same time, its artificial character is at once proclaimed, and its natural beauty impaired. The middle of the lake is so deep that it is a perfect fence against cattle wading across...
עמוד 58 - ... looks from its windows. It is very often remarked by those who have not studied the subject, when they see a house surrounded by beautiful hills, that it is misplaced, conceiving that if it had been placed on the higher ground it would have looked better. So, indeed, it might, if the house as a piece of architecture be only considered ; but as much more beautiful scenery may be formed on...
עמוד 77 - ... called for, but for an indiscriminate application where improper. How many fine old castellated mansions, say their opponents, have been set out on a naked lawn ! How many rich masses of wood, which appeared to embrace and shelter the residence, have been anatomised for the sake of smoothness and a bedizened clearance ! and how many necessary and legitimate accompaniments of a dwelling have been removed to a distance, merely...
עמוד 48 - It is impossible, however, to convey by description anything like a perfect idea of the beauty and great variety of ever-changing scenes which strike the eye and arrest the attention of the beholder, in making a tour of Fairfax Park. The advancing and receding masses of wood ; the opening and closing of the glades and vistas sometimes extending quite across the park, or shut up at shorter distances, ever shifting with the position of the spectator, arecircumstances which constantly employ and please...
עמוד 31 - Loudon states that he had observed that flower-gardens looked best when the flowers were so arranged as to have a compound colour next the simple one, which was not contained in it. Thus, as there are only three simple colours, blue, red, and yellow, he advises that purple flowers, which are composed of blue and red, should have yellow next them; that orange flowers, which are composed of red and yellow, should be contrasted with blue; and that green flowers...
