Note 131 — CHAPTER 6 THE PICTURESQUE AND THE GOTHIC REVIVAL

Downing’s major work, A Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening adapted to North America, New York and London, 1841, with later editions to 1879 (and twentieth-century reprints), devotes only a chapter to house design. His really influential architectural books were Cottage Residences, New York, 1842, with later editions to 1887, and The Architecture of Country Houses, New York, 1850, with later editions to 1866.
