I have also been desired to publish a new edition of my first work, entitled, "Sketches and Hints on Landscape Gardening," of which, only 250 copies being published by Messrs. Boydells in 1794, the book is become so scarce, that above four times the original price has been paid for some copies. In compliment to the present possessors of that work, I have determined never to publish another costly edition of it with plates, but rather to extract from it such matter as may not interfere with the quarto volume; incorporating it with such further observations on the Theory and Practice of the Art as have occurred from more recent practice: to which are added, answers to the attacks made on the art by some late publications.
