THE THIRD EDITION. 



A GARDEN IS THE PUREST OF HUMAN PLEASURES, IT IS THE GREATEST 

 REFRESHMENT TO THE SPIRITS OF MAN ; WITHOUT WHICH BUILDINGS 

 AND PALACES ARE BUT GROSS HANDY-WORKS. AND A MAN SHALL EVER 

 SEE, THAT WHEN AGES GROW TO CIVILITY AND ELEGANCY, MEN COME 

 TO BUILD STATELY, SOONER THAN TO GARDEN FINELY : AS IF GARDEN- 

 ING WERE THE GREATER PERFECTION.
