 :“We passed through this broad aisle [of the [[State House Yard|State House]]] into the '''''Mall'''''. It is small, nearly [[square]], and I believe does not contain more than one acre. As you enter the '''Mall''' through the [[State House Yard|State House]], which is the only [[avenue]] to it, it appears to be nothing more than a large inner [[Court-yard to the [[State House Yard|State House]]]], ornamented with trees and [[walk]]s. But here is a fine display of rural fancy and elegance. It was so lately laid out in its present form that it has not assumed that air of grandeur which time will give it. The trees are yet small, but most judiciously arranged. The artificial [[mound]]s of earth, and depressions, and small [[grove]]s in the [[square]]s have a most delightful effect. The numerous [[walk]]s are well graveled and rolled hard; they are all in a serpentine direction, which heightens the beauty, and affords constant variety. That painful sameness, commonly to be met with in garden-[[alley]]s, and others works of this kind, is happily avoided here, for there are no two parts of the '''Mall''' that are alike. Hogarth’s ‘Line of Beauty’ is here completely verified. The public are indebted to the fertile fancy and taste of [[Mr. Sam’l Vaughan, Esq.]], for the elegance of this plan. It was laid out and executed under his direction about three years ago. The '''Mall''' is at present nearly surrounded with buildings, which stand near to the board [[fence]] that incloses it, and the parts now vacant will, in a short time, be filled up.” [Fig. 8]
