The following is inscribed on page 308 of the author's copy of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy : ' During this chapter decided to write a history of landscape architecture, at 10.05am Sunday 23rd May 1958' , and ' completed at Taormina, Feb. 1975 ' Ten years later the idea of translating his great work The Landscape of Man into visible form was formulated at Seattle on the evening of 19 May 1985. The sketch plan, with little future deviation, was completed in time for breakfast the following morning. The Historical Gardens that this book describes are only part of a multi-million twenty year programme initiated by the Moody Foundation for the enrichment of Galveston, Texas - a city destroyed by inundation in 1900 and now materially recovered. The site of the gardens themselves is twenty-five acres of flat land adjoining sea marshes. This will be divided by artificial mountains into West and East. There will be fifteen cultures and the guide will take the visitor through the

(This is the first of four volumes of the writings of one ...)
This is the first of four volumes of the writings of one of this century's most remarkable and prolific thinkers. Together with Jock Shepherd, his co-student at the Architectural Association, Geoffrey Jellicoe published his first book in 1925. In the literature on landscape architecture, Italian Gardens of the Renaissance has become the pivotal work and finest appraisal on the subject. To the original photographs of Jock Shepherd's drawings, Jellicoe has now added a completely new text. In An Italian Study , his reassessment of his generative trip to Italy taken almost seventy years ago, he sets out to assess the way in which Shepherd's remarkable drawings interpret the spirit of villa and garden. As a sequel to Italian Gardens of the Renaissance , in 1932 Jellicoe published Baroque Gardens of Austria . Since so little has been written on the subject, and since this work has been long out of print, it is produced here in its entirety. It paints a fascinating picture of the great buildings and
