THESE three volumes illustrate the relationship 

 between house and garden, and the beauties of 

 every type of garden, both formal and natural, in a 

 way never before attempted. They afford a com- 

 plete survey of the whole history of garden design 

 and garden architecture, considered from every point 

 of view historical, artistic, and horticultural. 



"The title given to this handsome book hardly does justice to 

 the contents. The gardens that it so lavishly portrays, charming as 

 they are, would be without life and meaning, except as settings to 

 the priceless old English halls, manor-houses, and castles that are 

 centred in each well-chosen view. There must be almost a thousand 

 of these fascinating pictures in this one volume, and all, with one 

 exception, hare been chosen from sixty-four famous places, so that 

 one does not merely have a passing glimpse of a multitude of 

 widely scattered scenes, but, on an average, fifteen careful outdoor 

 studies of each beautiful house and its surroundings." Morning Post.
