Summary:

"This book is something unique among books on the subject in that it will, for the first time, try to arrive at the essential conceptions of garden design, the fundamental ideas that give each particular type its personality ... A garden expresses the essentials of a culture no less than a building; indeed, in the formal gardens, the garden was a logical extension of the building, the whole forming one complete harmonious plan ..." - Dust Jack.
