" Within the short limits, to which we are necessarily confined, it would be 

 impossible to convey any adequate idea of the mass of information contained in 

 this volume ; information, too, be it remembered, not more novel than import- 

 ant, nor more difficult to be ascertained, lhan beneficial to the community at 

 large, when received. If we would very briefly characterise the work, we 

 would say, that it exhibits a complete analysis of an English parterre. We 

 have not, in a word, seen any production, which at all approximates to the 

 present in the importance of its details. In its production, the munificent 

 liberality of one of the first of our noblemen has been combined with the 

 patience, preseverance, and sagacity of one of the most distinguished botanists 

 of the day. Rarely have wealth and science laboured more successfully. The 

 Hortus Gramineus Woburnensis does honour to our country. The simplicity 

 and clearness with which this varied information is communicated, are highly 

 pleasing, and have invested with a singular charm details which would almost 

 appear to defy such an ornament." Monthly Critical Gazette, January, 1825.
