The pattern of enclosed courtyard gardens is also seen in many Greek and Roman examples, but there was also a tradition of large, open garden landscapes as reflected in the terraced gardens of Babylon, the Greek sacred landscape, and Roman villa garden.
This is particularly evident in the vast transformation of the gardens at Stowe, Birminghamshire, from the original enclosed, geometrical design to a sprawling, irregular form with undulating lawns, meandering streams, irregularly shaped ponds, and encircling woodland.
By the 1740s Stowe was the epitome of the new "picturesque" style.

Smallpox was described in China as early as in 1122 B.C. It was the desperate pressure to escape from this disease which almost three centuries later lead to one of the greatest breakthroughs in medicine, and subsequently the eradication of one of the gretest scourges of mankind.
The primary side effect of the procedure was the appearance of smallpox itself; however, in 1722, in one of the first applications of statistics to a medical and social problem, James Jurin (1684-1750) observed that the smallpox-associated case-fatality rate was 1:14 in noninoculated children and 1:91 in inoculated children.

The trio in all its forms lies at the heart of his chamber music; solos (sonatas) featured less prominently after the 1740s, and in the last years of his life Bach turned to the quartet.
Comparison of the two versions shows Bach’s outstanding early talent and the tremendous progress he made by the time he produced the later version: the introductory fantasia and closing movement were cut, the two other movements thoroughly revised and a new opening movement added.
In the 1740s, then, Bach entirely abandoned the basic four-movement form of the trio, which was initially at least as important to him as the three-movement form.
