Summary:

A major contribution to the controversy sparked by Richard Payne Knights' poem "The landscape" and Uvedale Price's "Essay on the picturesque" which attacked the formalism of Capability Brown and his followers in favour of a mor natural, picturesque style. Marshall's answer acknowledges the literary merits of the two, but defends "poor Brown" from excessive antagonism, and finds in the two works a tiresome rehashing of ideas stolen from Gilpin.
