Mr. Parsons, to whom was intrusted the 

 greater part of designing and building Central 

 Park, New York City, and who designed the 

 great 1400-acre park at San Diego, Cal., has 

 written a most important book setting forth the 

 underlying principles of the practice of landscape 

 gardening, and to sustain the exposition of these 

 principles he cites passages from at least one 

 hundred well-recognized authorities in various 

 ages and countries. More than one of these 

 authorities have never been translated into 

 English and others are to be found only in 

 magazines and pamphlets, and even these often 

 only in public libraries.
