Not illustrated. 1837 Excerpt: ...in circular and oval clumps, which frequently crowned the top of an eminence. A clump placed by itself, and totally unconnected, has a bare and formal appearance, it requires to be grouped with larger masses of wood and to be relieved by single trees. Thickets are also preferable for beauty to trees drawn up so close as to lose all their side branches. If these are composed of yew, holly, hazel and thorns planted amongst the trees, the inequality of their growth will break the sameness and formality of trees alone, particularly if they are all of one sort. As to the belt it is necessary to have a separation betwixt the open ground in the park and the enclosed fields without. Large plantations will be there required to hide the paling or boundary fence.

If the position of the plantations be thus fixed by high considerations, and must be made subordinate to the rules of art, the connection of the covers must depend upon contingent circumstances. In many instances it is usual to confine all the covers to the neighbourhood of the mansion. This often crowds them together to such a degree as to render them of no use towards affording additional sport. It will give more shooting ground, but not more shooting.
