2O4 Gleanings in Old Garden Literature. 



There was not the same uninterrupted 

 succession of books on this theme as on the 

 less dispensable one of eating and drinking, 

 dining and supping. I have, of course, in- 

 serted accounts of Worlidge and many others 

 in the narrative; but down to the time of 

 Pope and Pope's Bathurst there does not 

 seem to have been very much published 

 on the subject.
