out of print. The second volume will contain reprints, abridg- 

 ments, extracts, or reviews, of all the British works on Landscape- 

 Gardening, from the days of Shenstone to the present time, 

 the cost of which, in separate volumes, would amount to nearly 

 100/., and most of which cannot be obtained at any price, being 

 out of print. The third volume will consist entirely of trans- 

 lations of works on Landscape-Gardening, from the French, 

 German, and Italian, only one of which has hitherto appeared 

 in English. Each volume will be accompanied by notes and 

 graphic illustrations by the editor. The notes and graphic illus- 

 trations will have one single object in view, viz. that of illustrating 

 the text as to the principles or practice of Landscape-Gardening 

 and Architecture, and Taste or Criticism, as applied to these 

 arts, or to rural matters generally. No miscellaneous notes will 

 be admitted, and no attempt made to render the work what may 

 be called an ornamental publication. Utility to young gardeners 

 and architects, and to country gentlemen and amateurs of the 

 rural arts, will be the editor's sole guide in making annotations 

 himself, or in selecting those of others. 



The great object of the editor, in producing this work, is to 

 furnish a course of study preparatory to his Encyclopaedia of 

 Landscape-Gardening, in one volume 4to, which will contain a 

 summary of principles, and an extensive series of designs, illus- 

 trative of their application to the laying out of every description 

 of country residence, from the cottage to the palace. It was 

 originally the editor's intention to publish this Encyclopaedia first, 

 and the Library afterwards ; but, recollecting that it was chiefly 

 through the perusal of the works which he intends shall compose 

 the Library, and through sketching from some of the scenes 

 therein described, that he acquired his own knowledge of Land- 

 scape-Gardening, he has determined on publishing the Library 

 first, and the Encyclopaedia afterwards. 



The works of Gilpin will be published in the order in which 

 they first appeared ; commencing with the Essay on Prints ; next 

 the Observations on the Wye; then those on Cumberland and 

 Westmoreland ; and so on. Those contributors to the Gardener's 

 Magazine, who may possess Gilpin's works, are invited to send 

 notes; more particularly " An Amateur" (of Woodstock), Cau- 

 sidicus, Dendrophilus, Selim, J. F. M. D. (of Shrewsbury), and 

 W. T. B. (of Coventry). — J. C. L. Baysxvater, Jan. 1834.
