New edition of Humphry Repton's work, edited by John Claudius Loudon, with an historical and scientific introduction, biographical notice, notes, and an index. Loudon, a Scottish botanist, was a prolific author on landscape design and was instrumental in the adoption of the term “landscape architecture” by the profession. Repton is widely considered the last great English landscape designer of the 18th-century.
