' iscape Gardening. — The styh 



„.jst generally knewn under lUD ■ vrww ..» w wj C 



English, natural, or picturesque style, which terms it 

 mst be acknowledged are very ambiguous, and convey 

 ut a faint idea of the subject they are intended to ex- 



iss many of them coined at particular times to suit 

 articular cases, and many of them are found to answer 

 le purpose extremely well ; thus the modern term 

 indbcape gardening has now become familiarised to 

 nr ears, and its full import is very generally under- 

 wood. As I wish to show the difference of meaning 

 between the words gardenesque and picturesque, I may 

 add that the latter epithet is chiefly applied to the 

 works of Nature, and especially to those objects which 

 are disposed with an admixture of varied rudeness, 

 simplicity, and grandeur. There are, without doubt, 

 picturesque objects among works of art, and it is possi- 



esque beauty i.s Nature in all its original variety and in 



-" u s irregular grandeur. Some of our eminent 



ers have taken up this subject with astonishing 



effect, for who can witness the inimitable productions of 



Poussin, the gloomy grandeur of Salvator Rosa, 



,.„ e compositions of our own Wilson, and the bril- 

 liant simplicity of Gainsborough, without being struck
