Elements of modern gardening: or. The art of laying out of pleas¬ 
ure grounds, ornamenting farms, and embellishing the views 
roxmd about our house. London, Printed at the Logograph- 
ic press & sold by R. Baldvrin [n.d.] 80 p. (Mo. Bot. 
Gaird.; Brit. Mus.; Bindley) 
Brit. Mus. enters under title, giving queried 
date 1800, and doubtfully attributes to J. Trus- 
ler. Johnson, Hist. Eng. Sard., p.244, assigns 
its date as 1784, which is followed by Bindley. 
A copy that was listed in H: Cork, Cat.9 (1931), 
item 361, included "Miscellanies on ancient and 
modem gardening, and on the scenery of nature" 
(1785), a work which was also issued anonymously 
but which has always been attributed to Samuel 
Felton. Is it possible that Felton also wrote 
the "Elements of modem gardening", which seems 
to belong to the same period? (MFW-Mar.10,1938)
