Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from City Development, a Study of Parks, Gardens, and Culture-Institutes, 1904: A Report to the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust
Carnegie Dunfermline Trust, to report as to the laying out of the Park, and as to the Buildings in or around it needed or desirable for carrying on the work of the Trust. Further than this I have been left completely free in both respects; that is, not only as regards scale and style, principle and detail of treatment, but also free to think out what in my judgment, and keeping in view the needs and practical possibilities of the City and the renewing advance of educational and social progress, these buildings and their setting should be. While I have fully availed myself of this generous liberty I trust I have not abused it: moreover, I must at the very outset make it as clear to the reader as it is to myself that the many suggestions and practical proposals of my various chapters in no way and at no point commit the Trust. They do not even give any indication as to what their policy may be, such as might be gathered had my different chapters with their particular garden, building, or improvement plans been in response to a definite commis sion of the ordinary kind.
