Of Gardens, first published in 1625. Of Gardens, essay 46 in a series of 58, was meant to be read in conjunction with essay 45, Of Buildings, in which Bacon (1561-1626) describes the ideal position and lay-out of a palace. He advises a garden should be no less than 30 acres and should be divided into three areas: the green area or lawn, the main garden, and ‘a heath or desert’. This edition was printed by Simon Lawrence, owner-operator of Fleece Press, Yorkshire. The engravings are by English artist Betty Pennell.]]> Francis Bacon]]>
