- Second edition, following the first of 1772, of Chambers's classic argument that Chinese aesthetics could revitalize English landscape gardening in an era dominated by the style of Capability Brown. For this edition, he appended the "Explanatory Discourse" to further justify his anti-Brown views in the face of much public criticism. William Chambers (1723-1796) made three voyages to China as supercargo on Swedish East India Company ships, and as such was the "first European … to have studied Chinese architecture at first hand" (ODNB). Across the body of his writing, Chambers portrayed Chinese gardens "as a union of art and nature, in which the gardener improved upon nature's beautiful irregularities. He believed that Capability Brown denied this in his 'natural' gardens based upon arboreal and landscape modelling" (ibid.). The most well-known retort to the Dissertation was penned by William Mason, a firm supporter of the Brownian style, whose satirical "Heroic Epistle to Sir William Chambers" opined of Chambers in an accusatory tone: "Like thee to scorn Dame Nature's simple fence,/Leap each Ha Ha of truth and common sense". Bound after the Dissertation is Amédée François Frézier's (1682-1773) Dissertation historique et critique sur les ordres d'architecture (Paris: Charles-Antoine Jombert, 1769), the text of which first appeared as an appendix in his Traité de Stéréotomie (1738). Provenance: from the library of Michael Kearney (1734-1814), fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, with his armorial bookplate and shelf label on the front pastedown, as well as his ownership signature on the title page. Following his election to a fellowship in 1757, he was professor of modern history (1769 78), regius professor of law (1776 8), and Archbishop King's lecturer (1774, 1777). ESTC T1905. Quarto (258 x 202 mm). Contemporary speckled calf, brown spine label lettered in gilt, board edges tooled in blind, Nonpareil marbled endpapers, edges green. Engraved additional title page (dated 1772) and dedication leaf, both with illustrations by Bartolozzi after Cipriani. Calf professionally retouched, joints split but still sturdy, wear to lower corner of front board and extremities, internally clean and bright.
