		LOUDON, JOHN CLAUDIUS.—This eminent improver of our gardening and agriculture, was born at Cambuslang, Lanarkshire, on the 8th of April, 1783.
		In this way, while Loudon was generously doing his uttermost to be the Triptolemus of England, and teaching the best modes of increasing and eliciting the riches of its soil, his own success was a practical comment upon the efficacy of his theories; for, in 1812, he found himself the comfortable possessor of £15,000.
		We have already mentioned the ill success of Loudon’s "Arboretum Britannicum." This was the heaviest blow of all, and tended to accelerate the disease that terminated in his death; but still, come what might, he resolved that to the last he would be up and doing.

		John Claudius Loudon (1783 — 1843) embraced all three approaches during his 40 year career as a garden designer and writer.
		In his Encyclopedia of Gardening, which was published in 1822, Loudon expressed his feeling that “to say that landscape gardening is an improvement on geometric gardening, is a similar misapplication of language, as to say that a lawn is an improvement of a cornfield, because it is substituted in its place.
		Loudon expressed his his agreement with this point of view when he wrote that “forms perfectly regular and divisions completely uniform immediately excite the belief of design and with this belief all the admiration which follows the employment of skill”.

		Loudon designed an excellent arboretum in Derby which survives in reasonable condition - though the local parks department does not label the specimen plants.

	LArc353
		Loudon began, at the turn of the 19th century, to bring the scale of English landscapes down to individual garden size, and to experiment increasingly with both exotic and native flowering and massed species as the focal point in gardens.
		A reaction against the somewhat anti-esthetic but scientific clusterings of plants by Loudon appeared in the later-19th century magazines of Irishman William Robinson, who held up as examples the lush gardens of Gertrude Jekyll.
		Their response was to re-emphasize building architecture as the dominant theme in the landscape by using masses, hedges, borders, and topiary of dark shrubs with few or no flowers to extend the form of the house out into the garden.

		The plan is copied from the works of John Claudius Loudon, the great English author on gardening and rural architecture.
		MacAdam noted that both the plan and elevation of the entrance lodge were derived from the Encyclopedia of Cottage, Farm and Villa Architecture first published by the Scottish landscape designer and architect John Claudius Loudon in 1833.

		John Claudius Loudon, who visited Harlaxton in May 1840 and described it in the July number of the Gardener's Magazine, wrote that 'from entering so completely into both the design and the practical details of execution he may be said to have embodied himself in the edifice, and to live in every feature of it'.
		But to begin with he confined himself to England, for his first plans were limited to building a house in the Jacobean or Elizabethan style.
		He told Loudon that ('there being, at the time he commenced, few or no books on the subject') he visited and studied, among other buildings, Bramshill, Hardwick, Hatfield, Knole, Burghley, Wollaton, Kirby, Longleat, Temple Newsam, and the Oxford and Cambridge colleges.
