In The Life and Work of an English Landscape Architect

(Richards Press, 25s.), Mr. Thomas H. Mawson recalls his memories of a long and exceptionally busy career devoted to garden-making, town-planning, and allied activities. His vocation has carried him far and wide across the earth, and introduced him to many famous people. Among his most important activities was the re-planning of Salonika after the War. His autobiography, with its fine illustrations, is. full of varied artistic interest and is written in a pleasant

anecdotal style._
