Summary:

"That any one could have so succinctly stated the principles of landscape design almost a century ago seems incredible. Cleveland's philosophy, based on his own thinking and observation long before there were any schools of instruction or professional societies, is as pertinent today as it was then. In fact, the analysis and prophecies of the functions of landscape architecture have never been more intelligently made." - Ralph E. Griswold, FASLA. The book has also received comment from Norman Newton: "...the outstanding event of his Chicago period was the publication in 1873 of his remarkable little book Landscape Architecture. So far as available evidence shows, this essay was the first book to use the term "landscape architecture" in the professional sense... The remarkable fact is that in so early a treatise the aims and techniques of a new profession could be in such large part analyzed and clearly enunciated." - Design on the land, page 312.
