[DÉZALLIER D'ARGENVILLE (Antoine-Joseph)]
The Theory and Practice of Gardening, in which one deals at length with the fine gardens, commonly called the gardens of pleasure and cleanliness. With the geometric practices necessary to lay out on the ground all kinds of figures. And a Treatise on hydraulics suitable for gardens.
