THE GARDEN ENTRANCES. THE central view of the great dome is, doubtless, the most striking; and it is, therefore, proposed to make an entrance from the town, at the spot from whence the sketch [our figs. 126 and 127, and d d in the ground plan, fig. 125, in p. 377] is taken. Another entrance to the garden will be very striking from the stable-yard [see fig. 128]; the long perspective through the several arches, requires an appropriate termination for the centre of the vista; this same porch [d d in fig. 125], or entrance, forms also the central object from the windows of the Pavillon. On one side of the pool is also represented the orchestra, or platform, for a band of music, which is an essential part of the state and pleasure of such a garden, and to which some central spot must be appropriated; the cupola on the chapel is not of the same character, and cannot be hid from the garden: the appearance of this orchestra will divide the attention, and lessen its influence, although it is, fortunately, not so correct a specimen of Grecian architecture as to do much injury by its intrusion [see fig. 129].
