Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Essay on Landscape Gardening Every work of art proposes for its end either utility, or along with utility the raising certain pleasing sentiments in the human mind. Works which propose the last end tor their aim have most dignity in them, and therefore the arts by which they are produced have a higher appellation. When we speak of an art in which mere utility is intended, we term it a mechanical art; when we speak of an art which joins pleasure to utility, we call it one of the fine arts. The art of laying out gardens has, within little more than an hundred years in Europe, and within a much less time in Great Britain, started up from being one of the former, to be one of the latter species of these arts. In all ages men have known the use of fruits, flowers, and herbs, for the pleasure of the senses, it is almost only in our age, that they have introduced into gardens one half of the pleasing objects of art and nature, for the entertainment of the imagination.
