This book is in reality a history of fine arts in America to 1834. "Contains full biographical notices of all the artists in every department of design in the country, abounds in anecdote as well as information collected with great pains from original sources, which cannot be found elsewhere, and is the most valuable of the author's productions."

"Deals with design, design taught not by precept but by example. Sixty-

sent every phase of gardening in Great Britain... Some description
of each place is given, and since most of the places are of real archi-
tectural and historic interest, these descriptions are more than merely
perfunctory accompaniments. The pictures are the best that skillful
photography, admirable halftone plates and careful presswork can pro-
duce, and the book, take it for all in all, is from the architect's point of
view, the best book on English gardens that has ever been published."

This essay is still considered valuable. Lauder, who contributes the essay "On the origin of taste," was himself distinguished for his descriptive powers and his sense of the picturesque.

Mr. Robinson's book...is a sincere attempt to reduce to small compass a subject of great breadth and complexity... The book properly opens with some consideration of how to make the most of a city's site and how best to plan its streets. Then follow such details as bridges, street pavements, street cleaning, lighting, etc; then things to be suppressed or rendered less annoying, as wires, poles, smoke. Next the question how to make advertisements less hideous and utilities more beautiful, claims much space. Parks and public gardens, squares and

playgrounds, trees in cities-these and a dozen other matters fill
separate chapters." Nation, 1901.
