Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Gardens of Virginia But the book makes no claim for literary merit. With the ex ception of the introduction, it is altogether the work of amateurs. Nor does it profess to tell all about Virginia's old gardens. It does not undertake to tabulate all their beauties and recite everything for which they are famed. It tells but little of the celebrated men and women who have trod their paths, for throughout the aim has been for historic accuracy rather than romantic interest or literary value.
