First edition of Repton’s “most important work” (RIBA). Repton's second treatise reflects the increasing refinement of his theories on landscape and architecture, making more use of his ingenious overslips.

Quarto (353 x 285mm). Engraved portrait frontispiece after S. Shelley; 28 etched and engraved plates, 12 of these with overslips, one folding panorama, with many hand-colored or tinted; aquatint and engraved illustrations in the text, 2 with overslips (portrait with repaired tear affecting image, panorama with short stub tears, light spotting throughout). 20th-century russia gilt with initials MRS stamped at center. Provenance: Joseph Walter King Eyton (color-printed bookplate) – T. D. C. Graham (armorial book label printed in gold) – Maude Richey Seabury (president of the Garden Club of America; binding and notes from presentation in 1941).
