God Almighty first planted a garden ; and, indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures ; it is the 
greatest refreshment to the spirits of man ; Avithout which buildings and palaces are but gross handi- 
works : and a man shall ever see, that, when ages grow to civility and elegance, men come to build 
stately, sooner than to garden finely ; as if gardening were the greater perfection.. — Lord Bacon.
