These three volumes illustrate the relationship between 

 house and garden, and the beauties of every type of garden, 

 both formal and natural, in a way never before attempted. 

 They afford a complete survey of the whole history of 

 garden design and garden architecture, considered from 

 every point of view, historical, artistic and horticultural. 



"These beautiful books owe their charm to the wonderful collection 

 of photographs of gardens and garden architecture which such a paper 

 as Country Life has had a unique opportunity of making. The principle 

 conveyed in the letterpress is that held by all great gardeners and archi- 

 tects — that house and garden are, or should be, intimately associated, 

 and that the character of the possessors should be reflected in both. The 

 accounts of lovely garden after lovely garden are most agreeable reading. 

 There is no country in the world where man-created sylvan beauty can be 

 found comparable to this in England, and as albums of charming pictures 

 for the garden lovers and a mine of elegant suggestion to the garden- 

 maker, these volumes are the best thing of their kind we have ever seen."
