ARDENlNG, a braneh of aglieultule, .cootaioing

the cultiv,tioo of gardens.

The fimplefl idea of a garden, is that of a Cpot em·

bellilhed with a number of natural objeéls, Irees, walks,

polifhed parterres, Oowers, flreams,

á..

One more como

piex comprehends Ilatues and buildiogs, that oature and

,rt may be mutually ornamental. A toird approaching

neuer perfeélion, is of objells a(fembled togetoer, io or–

der to prodoee, not ooly ao emotion

beauty, e(feotial

every gardeo, but airo fome other particular emotioo,

graodeur for example, or gaiety. The mon perfeél idea

of a gardeo is ao improvemeot upon toe loird, requiring

!he reveral patlS to be arraoged io Cuco a maoner, as to

inCpire aH the different emotions Ihat can be raiCed by gar–

dening. lo this idea of a garden, the arraogement is ao

important eircumflaoce; for Come emotions figure be!1 io

eonjunélion, and others ought

alway~

to appear in Cuc·

eenioR aod never in conjunélion. Wheo Ihe mon op–

pofite emolions, Cueh as gloominl'Cs aod gaiely, (lillneCs

and aélivity, followe¡eh otoer in Cuccenion, the pleaCure

onthe whole will be the greaten; but Cueb emotioos

ought not to

{ant mixlure. For Ihat rea{on, a ruin, affording a Cort

of melaoeooly plcaCure, ougbt oot tO be Ceeo (rom

a flower'panem, which is ga}' and cheerful: but
