Entrance drive

THE DRIVES. Before I speak of the drives at Woburn, I shall endeavour to trace the progress of fashion in planting;* by which I mean the various systems adopted at different periods for making trees artificial ornaments. The first was, doubtless, that of planting them in a single row at equal distances, [fig. 229, a]; and this prevailed in the gardens mentioned by Pliny. *[Several passages in the remaining part of this Fragment, Mr. Repton had already given in his "Inquiry," &c. (see p. 332); but, as they are here illustrated by engravings, we have retained them. J. C. L.]
