Whoever wishes for a complete view of English Gardening 

 as at present practiced, will find no works, belter calculated 

 for his satisfaction than those of Mr. Loudon. Mr. Loudoa 

 being a Landscape Gardener by profession, might be excused 

 if in his publications on that branch of our Art, the abilities of 

 a master were chiefly a])parenl ; that in sue!) he is correct, that 

 he possesses taste to discriminate the beauties, and io repro-

 to select, and ability to execute ; is saying A] lliai, Ciui be said 

 of any Landscape Gardener who may succeed to Kent, Mason, 

 Whately, Knight, Price and Repton- It may be said without 

 any reservation of Mr. Loudon. 



Of his works on the more general branches of Horticulture I 

 shall confine my remarks to his Eacyclopoedia of Gardening,
