Excerpt from Landscape Gardening: Treatise on the General Principles Governing Outdoor Art; With Sundry Suggestions for Their Application in the Commoner Problems of Gardening A thorough study of the principles of good taste in landscape gardening would be of measurable benefit to two classes of persons, - first, to practicing landscape gardeners; and second, to the rest of mankind.
