As, from the great extent of Russell-square, it is advisable to provide some seats for shade or shelter, a reposoir is proposed in the centre, with four low seats, covered with slate or canvas, to shelter from rain, and four open seats to be covered with climbing plants, trained on open lattice, to defend from the sun; these seats surround a small court-yard, to be kept locked, in which may be sheds for gardeners' tools, and other useful purposes. A few years hence, when the present patches of shrubs shall have become thickets,-when the present meagre rows of trees shall have become an umbrageous avenue,-and the children now in their nurses' arms shall have become the parents or grandsires of future generations,-this square may serve to record, that the Art of Landscape Gardening in the beginning of the nineteenth century was not directed by whim or caprice, but founded on a due consideration of utility as well as beauty, without a bigoted adherence to forms and lines, whether straight, or crooked, or serpentine.
