Detached.-This remark is applicable to all such large buildings as may be necessary near the house; but in the small buildings at a distance, the same richness of ornament may prevail, where it is not inconsistent with the respective uses of such buildings. For this reason, I recommend the entrance of this place to be marked by magnificent gates, rather than by humble cottages, however picturesque. The farm-house, and the poultry-house, and pheasantry, half buried in wood, may preserve their humble and appropriate character; but if any building be made conspicuous, it should be ornamented in proportion to its situation and uses. Thus, a keeper's lodge, or a huntsman's kennel in the valleys, may be useful, without affecting to be ornamental; but, when it occupies an elevated station, it should make a part of the scenery worthy of the general character of the place.
