n Fig. II. — Maze at Theobalds, Hertfordshire.

forced (Fig. 11). As further illustrations of this class of maze, I give one taken from an Italian work on architecture by Serlio, pub- FiG. 13. — By the Designers of Hampton Court Maze.
lished in... 1537 (Fig. 12), and one by London and Wise, the designers of the Hampton Court maze, from their book, The Retired Gard'ner, published in 1706 (Fig. 13). Also, I add a Dutch maze (Fig. 14).
So far our mazes have been of historical interest, but they have presented no difficulty in threading. After the Reformation period we find mazes converted into mediums for re- creation, and they generally consisted of laby- rinthine paths enclosed by thick and carefully trimmed hedges. These topiary hedges were known to the Romans, with whom the topiarius was the ornamental gardener.
