The ground plan, of which fg. 69. is an engraving, is one 

 of the most exquisitely delicate and beautiful productions of the 

 kind which we have ever seen ; and at first sight it appears 

 scarcely credible that it should be the work of a person who has 

 spent the greater part of his life in handling a spade, rather than 

 a pencil or pen. The copy from which the vignette {fg. 68.) 

 is engraved is also executed with great taste, and an obvious 

 knowledge of natural scenery and pictorial eflFect. The two 

 latter qualities, indeed, were to be expected from the circumstance 

 of Mr. Harland having been brought up partly in the county of 

 Durham, and partly among the mountains and lakes of CumJaer-

 has been regularly educated as a gardener, and had filled the 

 situation of head gardener at one or two places before he came 

 into the employ of Mr. Falla. Soon after the death of the 

 latter, about a year ago, Mr. Harland came to London, and is 

 now at work in Mr. Knight's nursery. King's Road. That a 

 man with such talents is fitted for something very different, every 

 reader, we think, will allow ; but the difficulty is to find a situ- 

 ation suitable for him. Knowing the private worth and modesty 

 of the man, as well as his knowledge and taste in surveying and 

 drawing, we should wish to see him in the employ of some ex- 

 tensive landed proprietor, who was acting as his own landscape- 

 gardener and planter, and who only occasionally called in the
