GLEANINGS ON GARDENS. 



gardens at Whitton, those at Wilton, and Sir F. 

 Dashwood's at West Wycombe. Vivares also en- 

 graved some. 



Rysbrake, and also Donowell, gave Views of 

 Chiswick Gardens ; Chatelain gave those at Stowe ; 

 all published by Wilkinson, Bowles, and Laurie. The 

 finest Views of the Gardens at Stowe were drawn by 

 Rigaud, and published by Sarah Bridgeman in 1739. 



Wale drew, and Muller engraved, A general Prospect 

 of the Gardens at Vauxhall. 



Ant. Walker drew a curious view of Prior Park. 



Stainborough House and garden, in Yorkshire, 

 was published by Wilkinson ; he also published views 

 of Hampton Court, Middlesex, and its gardens. 



Some of the following works may possibly lead to 

 the discovery of prints of some of our old gardens, 

 or at least, may contain descriptions of some of 

 them : 



Leland's Itinerary, some of whose pages I should 

 think must offer a few choice bits of brief gleanings. 

 The Encydopcedia of Gardening, at page 69, refers 

 to some of the gardens that Leland mentions.* 



Aubrey's Surrey, and, no doubt, some of our other 

 county histories. 



* Leland thus speaks of Guy's Cliff: 'It is a place fit for the 

 Muses ; there is sylence ; a praty wood ; antrainvivosaxo (grottoes 

 in the living rock) ; the river rolling over the stones with a praty 

 noise.'
