From r, in fig. 119., p. 207., the walk proceeds along an uniform surface to s; where there may be constructed in atone, or brick covered with cement, a Doric temple, or any other building that the proprietor may think desirable. We have mentioned' a Doric temple, because that order requires less ornament than any other, and because it admits of the interior being fitted up as a good room. This room might be a billiard-room, or a place for occasionally drinking tea or dining in; or for a children's party, or a dance; or for stationing a band of music in, on extraordinary occasions; or it might be a place for statues, minerals, models, or other objects in which the proprietor was curious. Instead of one large room, there might be two open porticoes, back to back, with a small room between them communicating with both; in which case, the portico of the end next the house would make a good object to be seen from the windows; while from a seat in it would be obtained an excellent view of the conservatory front of the house; and the seat in the other portico, at the back, would command the interesting distant prospects indicated in figs. 111. to 114., p. 202, 203.

313. The walk is continued from s, in fig. 119., p. 207., till it joins that round the kitchen-garden at t, thus completing the tour of the place. It would have been easy to increase the number of walks, and to conceal them from one another by strips of evergreens in some places, and by raised mounds of turf in others; but we have preferred a comparatively simple style for laying out this place, and have indicated no more walks than what are likely, under common management, to be kept in good order. We have carefully avoided laying down any branch walks from the circumferential walk p q r s t, towards the approach, the house, or the flower-garden; not only because we wished to preserve the breadth of effect of the lawn (which we consider, when combined with the concealment of the boundaries by planting, as the best means of giving dignity and extent to a place), but also because we wished to keep an uninterrupted glade of turf from d to x, by u, v, and w, for those to take exercise in who prefer turf to gravel for walking on; and also as a place where children may learn to ride. (See the open spaces among the trees in the plan fig. 125.) We have shown no walk from y to z, leaving that situation as a fit place for an archery-ground, should one be thought desirable.

314. The width of all the walks in the pleasure-ground we propose to be 6 ft.; and we have already given directions for their execution in the best manner. (See p. 53., and Garden Operations.)
