1822015837Princes Street Hanover Square London: T & J Allmann 1822. Illustrated with three simple hand-coloured plates octavo pp xii 378 extremely clean and sound inyternally half calf and marbled boards raised bands and leather label to the spine very slight signs of wear. With the armorial bookplate of Sir Charles William Hamilton 2nd Baronet and his small neat signature on the title page. Phillips lived much of his life on the south coast and gained a national reputation as a landscape gardener. His first plan for the development of a lrge site in Kemp Town Brighton was rejected but the second attempt five years later was accepted. His grandiose Anthaeum project an elaborate indoor botanical garden topped by "the largest dome in the world" ended in disaster when the structure spectacularly collapsed just before its official opening. His ideas on the layout of plants and flowers in relation to their surroundings were influential. When Brighton and Hove City Council restored the gardens and grounds of the Royal Pavilion to show how they would have appeared at the height of the Regency era they did so according to Phillips' ideas - specifically his belief that "a well-planted shrubbery depends on the selection of trees and shrubs which succeed each other in blossoming throughout the year as well as contrasting shades of green . and under-planted flowers". Second edition. Half Leather. Very Good. T & J Allmann Hardcover
