GENERAL OUTLINE OF THE PLAN. SINCE, therefore, the real extent of this garden cannot be increased by uniting it with surrounding objects, the imagination can only be deceived by such variations in the surface of the ground, and such a position of intervening embellishments, as may retard the eye in its too rapid progress, and amuse by the richness, the variety, and the intricacy of the scene. This will produce greatness of character, without greatness of dimension; and will delight by its beauty, where it cannot surprise by its extent: such is the general outline of the plan as it relates to nature. As a work of art, the garden of the Pavillon is further to be considered.
