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, con- 
sidered 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 architects — 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 .’’ — Daily Chronicle.
