Excerpt from Landscape Gardening: Or, Parks and Pleasure Grounds, With Practical Notes on Country Residences, Villas, Public Parks and Gardens, With Notes and Additions I'r may appear super¿uous to re-edit, in the United States, a work of the kind now presented to the reader: particularly if it be one of competent authority on the subjects of which it professes to treat. In answer to this suggestion it may be remarked, that scarce any European treatise on the manage ment'of grounds, the vegetation belonging to them, or the structures to be erected on them, can in every thing, be ap plicable here. Our climates and sons, our trees, shrubs and plants, our habits and tastes, all differ in various degrees from those of Europe, and Europeans, to which and to whom we have hitherto chie¿y looked for example and authority in matters of this kind.
