NOTICES ET THE PRESS. 
A home ! A home in the country ! And a home made 
heautiful by taste ! Here are three ideas which invest 
with a triple charm the subject of this exquisite vol- 
ume. We know of nothing which indicates a more 
healthy progress among our countrymen than the grow- 
ing taste for such homes. The American people are 
quick to follow a fashion, and it is getting to be the 
fashion to have a place in the country, and to beautify 
it ; and this is at once fed and guided by such books as 
this, which lay down the just principles of landscape 
gardening, and teach all how to use the means at their 
disposal. This book is prepared with careful judgment. 
It includes many plans, aud furnishes minute instruc- 
tion for the laying out of grounds and the planting of 
trees. We have found very great pleasure in a first in- 
spection, and doubt not that when another summer re- 
turns, we shall find the book as practically useful as it 
is beautiful to the eye and exciting to the imagination. — 
N. Y. Evangelist. 
Orange Judd & Co. have just issued a book that hund- 
reds, perhaps thousands, of our readers will be glad to 
have. It is a quarto volume, devoted to views and plans 
of grounds around and about rural residences, homes in 
the country; actual pictures of lawns laid out, with 
walks, and fountains, and trees, each particular tree and 
bush being on the spot where it stands in the grounds ; 
for all these arc actual sketches of places owned and laid 
out by persons whose names are given with them, so that 
the places themselves may be visited by anybody who 
wishes to see them. It will be good economy for an} r 
one who wishes to go into the luxury of rural residence 
to buy this book— it will cost only fifteen dollars— and 
will save fifteen hundred, perhaps as many thousands, by 
opening one's eyes to see what is to be done, and what it 
will cost to do it.— N. Y. Observer. 
We have from Orange Judd & Co. a magnificent 
manual, entitled Beautifying Country Homes ; a Hand- 
Book of Landscape Gardening. It is a brief treatise on 
landscape gardening and architecture, explaining the 
principles of beauty which apply to it, and making just 
those practical suggestions of which every builder and 
owner of a little land, who desires to make the most of 
it in the way of convenience aud taste, stands in need ; 
in regard to lawns, drainage, roads, drives, walks, grad- 
ing, fences, hedges, trees— their selection and their 
grouping, flowers, water, ornamentation, rock-work, 
tools, and general improvements. The chapter on "im- 
proving new places economically " would be worth much 
more than the cost of the book ten times over to many 
persons. The whole is illustrated not only by little 
sketches, but by a series of full-page lithographs of places 
which have been actually treated in accordance with the 
principles laid down, with lists of trees and shrubs, and 
other useful suggestions. We have never met with aDy 
thing— and we have given a good deal of attention to the 
subject, and bought a great many books upon it— which 
seemed to us so helpful and, in general, so trustworthy 
as this treatise, which we heartily commend. We omit- 
ted to say that it has been done by Mr. J. Wcidcnmann, 
Superintendent of the City Park, and of Cedar Hill Ceme- 
tery, Hartford, Conn.— Congregationalism (Boston).
