XV PUBLIC PARKS THE problem of creating public parks while, in many respects, the same as that of estates or even of gardens, should always be carefully correlated with the rights and desires of the public. Historically, the public park is modem. A hundred years ago there were few public parks in the strict sense of the term, either in Europe or America. People were simply allowed to use Kings' and Princes* parks. Naturally, such parks had not been designed in the beginning for the use of the p...eople, although they were of great size and magnificence like Versailles.

Stiles in the pages of The Garden and Forest.
