Cecil, Evelyn: A history of gardening in England (London: Quaritch, 1896)

PREFA CE.

ix

continuation from the year 1699 has not received as much
time and attention as I wished to bestow upon it, as I have
had to complete it rather hurriedly on account of my
having been absent abroad for several months.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
The first edition was so quickly sold out that there has
been a demand for a second, before I have had time to
make many additions. There are, however, a few
alterations, the chief of them being the insertion of a part
of the plans of the Monastery of Canterbury from an
early MS. ; the correct view of Ingestre, instead of that of
Castle Bromwich, which was substituted by mistake in the
first edition ; and the addition of a view of Gunnersbury.
I must express my thanks to all friends who have
kindly pointed out misprints overlooked in the first edition,
which I have endeavoured to rectify. I am also indebted
to those who have helped me to add the names of a few
more books to the Bibliography.
