Transcriber’s Notes
- Obvious spelling and punctuation errors corrected. On page 296, “raste” could be meant to be “haste” or “taste” - it has been left as in the original. Inconsistencies in hyphenation in the original have been retained.
- The original text used ‹ › as parenthesis instead of ( ), this style has been retained.
- One of the color illustrations is referred to as “THE MOOR” in the List of Illustrations and as “THE MOORS” in the original caption. The caption has been changed to “THE MOOR” for consistency.
- Page headers from right hand pages have been retained as sidenotes and placed by relevant text.
- There were two chapters named XXXII in the original. The second XXXII has been renumbered XXXIII in this text, and subsequent chapters also renumbered.
- The alignment of some images was changed to fit the flow of text given the inclusion of sidenotes.
- Color illustrations and corresponding captions have been moved to fall at chapter breaks and may be clicked on to view larger versions.
- Illustrations that ran across two pages have been rejoined on one page, with a small vertical white space in between the two halves where they did not exactly line up.
- The cover has been created by the transcriber from the title page and has been placed in the public domain.

To our Kind Neighbours, of Rogate,
SIR HUGH & LADY WYNDHAM
who viewed the “Villino” garden,
even from the beginning, with indulgent
eyes; and, with friendliest tact,
persisted in descrying possibilities of
grace in the wildest tangle, this
chronicle is affectionately inscribed
in pleasant remembrance
of too rare visits.
