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 ; without which buildings and palaces are hut 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.
