GLEANINGS ON GARDENS. 3 



ever produced, and whose residence at Catherine Hall, 

 Cambridge, causes that spot to be still gazed on with 

 respectful awe, induces one to wish this view of 

 Aspeden (the frequent scene of his happy social visits) 

 was re-engraved. One may say of Lightfoot what was 

 said of Young 'full of benevolence, goodness, and 

 piety.' A beautiful edition of Chauncey has lately 

 come out in two volumes, 8vo., and which exhibits 

 three or four other gardens. 



Worlidge, in his Sy sterna Horticultures, 8vo., 1688, 

 has two engravings by Van Houe, being the form of 

 gardens 'according to the newest models.' Though 

 these may be called very simple models, yet one almost 

 wishes to preserve them out of respect to the author, 

 so frequently does he break forth in praise of gardens. 



Rennet's Parochial Antiquities gives a good plate 

 of Saresden House and garden, and one or two other 

 gardens. 



Dugdale's Warwickshire has five or six gardens. 



The frontispiece to the seventh edition of London 

 and "Wise's Compleat Gardener, and the two neat cuts 

 of gardens, at page 22 ; also, in their Retired Gardener 

 are several plates of parterres, knots, labyrinths, grass 

 plots and arches, and a plan of Marshal Tallard's 

 garden at Nottingham. 



In Bray's Memoirs of John Evelyn is a slight 

 etching of the garden at Wootton.
