Blue cloth on boards. volume is lightly worn on the edges. Now in protective cover. Introduction by The Right Hon. Earl of Derby, K.G. From the introduction: The beauty of the English scene is based for the most part on its intimacy and on its humanism. The English landscape is not wild; it bears all the marks of a country fashioned by man's hands for farming and for sport. The Scottish and Welsh scene is usually more as Nature made it, and is conceived on a grander scale. The English contribution to civilization is by no means small. It is doubtful if we ourselves appreciate suffiently the ordered beauty of the eighteenth-century London which is so rapidly disappearing under the pick and shovel of the builder."
