To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The absurdity of the idea proves the futility of making pictures our models for natural improve- ments: however I may respect the Avorks of the great masters in painting, and delight to look at nature with a painter's eye ; yet I shall never be induced to believe that " the best land- " scape painter would be the best landscape gardener."™ "" Since I began these remarks on Attingham, Mr. Price has published a second volume of Essays on the Picturesque, the whole of which is founded on his enthu...siasm for pictures; and he very justly observes, (page 26"9), " Enthusiasm always leads to 118 The river Terne being liable to floods from every heavy shower of rain which falls upon the neighbouring hills, has formed a number of different channels and islands: some of these channels are dry when the water is low, and some of the islands are covered when the water is high. These irriguous appearances have charms in the eye of a landscape painter, who, from some detached parts, might select a study for a foreground at a happy moment when the water is neither too high nor too low; but the landscape gardener has a different object to effect, the verge of ridicule, and seldom keeps totally within it." Thus not content with making the works of great painters the standard for laying out grounds, they are also to furnish plans and elevations for all our buildings, from the palace to the cottage: and since we cannot be quite reconciled to their being in a state of ruin, which would certainly be most picturesque, we must build them in such irregular forms that trees may be introduced in various hollows and recesses, to be left for this purpose: these will, indeed, very soon contribute to produce those weather stains, and harmonious tints, which are more grateful to the painter's eye than polished marble ; as the green rust on copper coins, is more interesting to the antiquarian, than the bright surface of gold or silver.
