Garden swings and see-saws

2254. Swings, see-saws, &c., are not very common in English gardens; but, as exercising places for children, are very proper in retired but airy parts of the pleasure-ground. In every country-residence where there are children, contrivances for their exercise and amusement ought to be considered essential objects; for these purposes, a riding school, and bath or pond for learning to swim and row a boat, may be considered essential.
