Tliis magnificent work is illustrated not only with numer¬ 
ous fine wood-engravings, but also with seventeen full-page 
and seven double-page colored lithographs of places already 
improved. It embodies the results of a long practice in 
landscape architecture and rural adornment, and while its 
teachings are in accordance with the received rules of art, 
they are thoroughly practical in their character. It is one 
of the most elegant, and ought to prove one of the most 
useful works ever issued in the country. The work, both iu 
its letter-press and colored lithographs, is beautifully p tinted, 
and it is elegantly bound in beveled boards.
