It requires that theslope of the wall towards the river shall be ofan angle of forty-five degrees, or exactly thesame as a line drawn from angle to angle ofan upright square : this is slope enough toprevent the earth from falling in, and youmight make sure of your deeply excavatedpond being pretty nearly all you want.
