ADVERTISEMENT, EXPLAINING THE NATURE OF THIS WORK. SEVEN years have now elapsed since the publication of my Sketches and Hints on Landscape Gardening, during which, by the continued duties of my profession, it is reasonable to suppose much experience has been gained and many principles established. Yet so difficult is the application of any rules of ART to the works of NATURE, that I do not presume to give this Book any higher title, than "Observations tending to establish fixed Principles in the Art of Landscape Gardening."
