Excerpt from The Improvement of the Park System of the District of Columbia: I. Report of the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia; II. Report of the Park Commission Mr. St. Gaudens, by common consent, stands first among American sculptors; and among architects and artists his criticisms have the authority of law. Mr. Olmsted bears a name identified with what is best in modern land scape architecture in the District of Columbia. He is the consulting landscape architect not only of the vast system of parks and boulevards which make up the metropolitan park system of Boston and its suburbs, but also of large parks in various cities. To inherited taste he adds the highest training, both practical and theoretical. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
