Horace Walpole
Every acre brings to one's mind some instance of the parts or pedantry, of the taste or want of taste, of the ambition or
love of fame, or greatness or miscarriages, of those who have inhabited, decorated,
planned or visited the place. Pope, Congreve, Vanbrugh, Kent, Gibbs, Lord Cobham, Lord Chesterfield, the mob of
nephews, the Lyttletons, Grenvilles, Wests, Leonidas Glover and Wilkes, ....
the late Prince of Wales, the King of Denmark, Princess Amelia, and the proud monuments of Lord
Chatham's services, now enshrined here, then anathematized there, and now again commanding
here, with the Temple of Friendship, like the Temple of Janus, sometimes open to war, and sometimes shut up in factious cabals - all these images crowd upon one's memory, and add visionary personages to the charming scenes, that are so enriched with
fanes and temples, that the real prospects are little less than visions themselves.

In a landscape garden with its variety of vistas the Greek copy becomes an ornament, a stage
property of exactly the same qualities as a Gothic ruin or a Chinese bridge.
Stuart's patrons no doubt wished to be in the latest fashion and to demonstrate their
archaeological interest by such three-dimensional quotations from the Greek
