hed at _Hereford_ a second volume, being an Essay on
Artificial Water, an Essay on Decorations near the House, and an
Essay on Architecture and Buildings as connected with Scenery.

2. A Letter to H. Repton, Esq. on the application of the practice
and principles of Landscape Painting to Landscape Gardening.
Intended as a supplement to the Essays. To which is prefixed Mr.
Repton's Letter to Mr. Price. Lond. 1795, 8vo. Second edition,
_Hereford_, 1798, 8vo. This is a sportive display of pleasant wit,
polished learning, and deep admiration of the great landscape
painters. Keen as some of his pages are, and lamenting that there
should have been any controversy ("or tilting at each other's
breasts,") on the subject of Launcelot Browne's works, "I trust,
(says he,) however, that my friends will vouch for me, that
whatever sharpness there may be in my style, there is no rancour in
my heart." Mr. Repton in his Enquiry into the Changes of Landscape
Gardening, acknowledges "the elegant and gentleman-like manner in

this present letter shew this.

_all_ the modern writers who have endeavoured to form "a taste for the
harmony and connection of natural scenery." Mr. Loudon farther calls him
"the great reformer of landscape gardening."

We have to regret, that though so many springs must have cheered the
long life of Sir Uvedale Price, (and which he calls the _dolce prima
vera, gioventu dell'anno_, and whose blossoms, flowers, and
"profusion of fresh, gay, and beautiful colours and sweets," he so
warmly dwelt on in many of his pages,) and though the number of these
springs must have nearly equalled those which gilded the days of Lord
Kames, of the honourable Horace Walpole, of Mr. Gilpin, and of Joseph
Cradock, Esq. yet we have to regret that his classic pen has presented
to the public no other efforts of his genius and cultivated taste, than
the few respectable ones above stated. Had he chose to have indulged his
own powers in describing what has been done towards "embellishing the
face of this
