Publisher's Synopsis

Gleanings In Old Garden Literature is a book written by William Carew Hazlitt, which is a collection of writings about gardens and gardening from various sources throughout history. The book contains a wide range of material, including poetry, essays, and instructional texts, all of which relate to the art and practice of gardening. The writings are drawn from a number of different cultures and time periods, including ancient Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, and the Renaissance. Some of the topics covered in the book include the history of gardening, the different types of gardens and their design, the cultivation of specific plants and flowers, and the role of gardens in society. Hazlitt's introduction provides context for the various pieces included in the book and offers insights into the history and evolution of gardening as an art form. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in gardening, horticulture, or the history of landscape design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
