Note 71 — HOGARTH ILLUSTRATED.
Reading edition
Old Bridgeman, eminent for his taste in the plans of gardens and plantations. As he was a worshipper of the modern style, scorned the square precision of the old school, and attempted to "create landscape, to realize painting, and improve nature," Hogarth might have given him a better design than that which he holds in his hand; it has all the regular formality that distinguishes the aquatic froggery of a Dutch burgomaster:
"Grove nods at grove, each alley has a brother, And half the platform just reflects the other."
