“Exhibits much more originality and power of research than the average doctoral thesis, it also displays a linguistic equipment and a lucid style. He has carefully exploited charters, laws, chronicles, sagas, lives of saints, and poetic monuments in quest of evidence bearing on his subject; and the result is a substantial contribution to our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon institutions.” C: Gross.

Latham, Charles. Gardens of Italy: a series of over 300 illustrations from photographs of the most famous examples of Italian gardens, with descriptive text by E. March Phillipps. 2v. $18. Scribner.
“A pair of very sumptuous folio volumes containing the collected series of photographs of Italian gardens by Mr. Charles Latham.... These fine photographs have more than an artistic charm; one dwells on them all with delicious memories.” (Lond. Times.) “As a photographer of architecture, and especially of gardens, Latham stands among the ablest.... Some descriptive text by E. March Phillipps accompanies the pictures. It is of a gossiping, semi-historical sort.” (Nation.)
[*] “He who has never seen them will find the present treatment at once comprehensive and suggestive.”

“The value of such a splendid collection of photographs as Mr. Latham’s is so evident, and the expense of securing them so great, that it is much to be regretted, that they should not be accompanied by plans.”
