Excerpt from Gardens Ancient and Modern: An Epitome of the Literature of the Garden-Art Of the gaps in my garden-hedges I am only too conscious, marvelling how I can have overlooked such obvious and striking claims. Where are the Garland and Plant lore of Athenæus and Theophrastus, and the Garden 'Points' of old Thomas Tusser? Where are Bulleyn's 'Bulwarks of Defence,' Andrew Borde's 'Dyetary of Health,' and Bishop Grossteste's Boke of Husbandry'? Where are the lines of the Poet-King James I. of Scotland on Windsor Garden? And why is Gerarde preferred to his predecessor, Dr Wm. Turner? Why find we no mention of Raleigh's Gardens at Beddington, or at Sherborne, described by Pope? Where are Ralph Austen and Sir Hugh Piatt, John de Garlande (1081), Jon Gardener(1440), John Rea, John Rose, John Tradescant, John Reid (author of the 'Scots' 'Gard'ner,' 1683, the earliest Scotch garden-book), John Dalrymple (are all gardeners Johns?), James Justice, and Gibsons Gardens about London, 1691? Well, some are to be found in the Epilogue, some are perhaps too exclusively technical, and the absence of the others can only be explained by the short word. Space! And now to the real purpose of this Prologue, that of most Prologues, Thanks! Where all is borrowed it seems invidious to make distinctions in gratitude. And so 'to the Great Men of the Past' who unconsciously lend their names and writings to the following pages I offer my deepest and most reverent thanks. To the living writers (and their publishers) who in this edition or the last have allowed me to quote from their works, I repeat my sense of their kindness and my obligation.
