cate, notably one of Levens Hall, 

 Westmoreland, a very interesting and 

 real old garden. Interesting as it is 

 from age, the ugliness of the clipped 

 forms takes away from the beauty of 

 the house. Even in sketches of gardens 

 like Montacute and Brympton, the 

 beauty of the gardens is not well shown. 

 The most interesting drawings, it is 

 not surprising to find, are the informal 

 ones ! Many of the others show the 

 evil, not the good, of the system advo- . 

 cated, by their hard lines and the 

 emphasising of ugly forms.
