W. of Windsor._ BY S. FELTON. SECOND EDITION, WITH CONSIDERABLE ADDITIONS. [Illustration] LONDON: 1830. PUBLISHED BY EFFINGHAM WILSON, ROYAL EXCHANGE; AND JOSEPH ONWHYN, CATHARINE STREET, STRAND. PREFACE. The following pages apply only to those English writers on gardening who are deceased. That there have been portraits taken of _some_ of those sixty-nine English writers, whose names first occur in the following pages, there can be no doubt; and those portraits may yet be with their surviving relatives or descendants. I am not so presumptuous as to apply to the following most slight memorials, some of which relate to very obscure persons, who claimed neither "the boast of heraldry, nor the pomp of power," but whose ----useful toil, Their homely joys and destiny obscure benefited society by their honest labour;--I am not so vain as to apply to these, any part of the high testimony which Sir Walter Scott has so justly paid to the merit of Mr. Lodge's truly splendid work of the portraits
