Ruthlessly efficient he could stake out the 'capabilities' of a particular terrain within an hour on horseback. Rising to the position of Master Gardener to George III his trademark features included bald lawns clumped trees undulating lakes and enclosing belts of woodland on the estate's perimeter. With this standard park formula Brown and his followers held the commercial monopoly on garden design well into the following century resisting the more rugged topography advocated by Richard Payne Knight's new generation of Romantics. . 2011. 0747810494 .

ref. 108846London William Croke 1679. . First edition collation: 8 136pp 8vo 180 x 115 mm; pen trials to title verso and final leaf footer light dampstaining and browning mostly to margins upper margin shaved touching a few pagination numerals mispaginated but complete; contemporary sheep worn upper cover near detached housed in modern drop-box. The first edition of Lancelot Addison's 1632-1703 biography of the Prophet Muhammad and examination of Muslim teachings. A scholarly work much informed by Addison's seven years living amongst the Jews and Muslims of Tangier The Life and Death of Mahumed presented a revisionist account of the history of Islam 'free' from the 'many ridiculous but usual Stories. which the present Mahumedans laugh at as the malitious Inventions of the Enemies of their Prophet' Epistle Dedicatory. It was published during the short-lived English colony at Tangier in north western Morocco where Addison had been stationed from 1663 to 1670 as chaplain to the unfortunate garrison. The territory was acquired in the marriage treaty of Charles II with Portugal but proved a sore thumb in England's colonial ambitions from the beginning. Shortly after Addison's arrival the newly appointed governor Andrew Rutherford 1st earl of Teviot was killed in an ambush which left nearly 500 soldiers dead. Addison lamented the loss of man who 'would have made Tanger as famous an English Colony as it was once a Roman' The Moores Baffled pp.25-2. An uncommon work ESTC records only 11 copies in institutional collections. It was reissued the same year under the revised title The First State of Mahumedism. ESTC R33059; Wing A523.
