LoudoiCs Repto7i's Landscape-Gardening. '491 



neas, is so easy of propagation, that, should there be a demand 

 for it, it will, in a few years, be down to half a crown. 



But the most important uses of this Hortus will be, its copious 

 synonymes, and its priced lists of tree and shrub seeds. Fo- 

 reigners, and gentlemen at a distance from London, who are, 

 perhaps, fully occupied on their country estates, will be sur- 

 prised to find, from Mr. Charlwood's catalogue given in the 

 Hortus Lig7wsus, what a very great number of varieties of trees 

 and shrubs they may procure seeds of at from 6d. to \s. a parcel. 

 What can be a more interesting pursuit to a gentleman of leisure, 

 than forming a nursery, raising all these seeds, and afterwards 

 distributing the plants through his shrubberies and plantations ! 



Art. III. Literary Notice. 



The lohole JVorks on Landscape-Gardening and La )idscape~ Archi- 

 tecture oj Humphry RejJton, Esq., ivith notes bj/ J. C. Loudon. 



This volume will comprise the following of Mr. Repton's 

 works : — Sketches and Hints, SjX. ; fol. 1795 ; 525. 6d. — Obser- 

 vafiojis, S,-c. ; 4to, 1803; 1055. — Changes of Taste, S^'C. ; 8vo, 

 1806 ; OS. — Pavilion at Brighton, and Changes in Architectural 

 Taste, S,-c.; fol. 1808; 1205. — Fragments, S^c. ; 4to, 1816; 

 1205. 



The above works, the publishing prices of which amount to 

 upwards of 20/., by reducing the engravings so as to come within 

 an 8vo page, and by printing in the same type as that used for the 

 Garde?ier's Magazine, will be comprised in one octavo volume, 

 which will be sold at 205. or 255. The copyright of such of Mr. 

 Repton's works as had not expired in 1838 was purchased by 

 Mr. Loudon in June in that year; and the engravings have been 

 in hand since that time ; so that it is expected the work will ap- 

 pear in February or March, 1839. Mr. Repton's taste as a 

 hindscape-gardener is universally acknowledged ; and the publi- 

 cation of the whole of his works, at such a price as will enable 

 every gardener to possess them, cannot fail to serve the cause of 

 landscape-gardening. 



Should this volume prove successful, it will be followed by 

 another of the same price, but in a much smaller type, entitled 

 the English School of Landscape-Gardeni7ig ; and that will be 

 succeeded by a third, entitled the Continental School of Land- 

 scape-Gardening, and including translations of Morel, Girar- 

 din, Hirschfeld, Srlcell, Piiflder Muslau, Pindcmonte, Sigismondo 

 Silva, &c. The three volumes will form a complete Librarij of 

 Landscape-Gardening.
