to forget the garden altogether, or else they give
it insufficient attention ; Mr. Morley Horder avoids
these faults, and entrusts the arrangement of the
grounds to Mr. Thomas H. Mawson, one of the
leading experts in garden architecture. It is to be
hoped that this example will be widely followed,
for the garden and the house are never so well
suited to each other as when they are carried out
under the guidance of a common impulse of design.

The work of Mr. Baillie Scott being well known
to readers of The Studio, it is unnecessary to
repeat what we have said more than once about
its characteristics. The drawings by him repro-
duced for these notes are new, and Mr. Scott

does not exhibit them at the Academy. This
independent worker, by daring to be unswervingly
true to his convictions, has proved that courage
in art, as in other occupations, is its own justifica-
tion and reward, in that it has enabled him not
only to pass through much obloquy, but to win at
last a reputation and success which his sometime
foes now help to extend. Though people cry
out for individuality, few like the real thing when
they meet with it for the first time. At a first
glance it is unpleasant to most of us ; it seems so
outre, so eccentric, for it breaks in suddenly upon
familiar impressions and forces the mind to re-
arrange an old stock of treasured likes and dislikes.
