Excerpt from The Garden: Considered in Literature by Certain Polite Writers, With a Critical Essay They were old-fashioned poetry, but choicely good. I think much better than that now in fashion in this critical age. When our contemporaries shall be ancient enough to have acquired this classical ¿avor, the collector of garden literature will find a rich store in this generation, and among his choicest selections he will doubtless preserve that delightful little book of the late Miss Ewing, Mary's Meadow, and Letters from a Little Garden. But whatever may be said of what is not contained herein, it is hoped that what is may be found to be choicely good. Here we may tread the stately alleys and classic shades of the Villa Laurentina with the younger Pliny, or enjoy the more splendid though less costly creation of Lord Bacon's im agination, with its squares on squares, parterres, and mysterious labyrinths, glowing with ¿owers, and rich with the luscious fruits which he so bountifully provides for every month in the year.
