SOURCE: William Robertson. Designs in architecture, for garden chairs, small gates for villas, park entrances, aviarys, temples, boat houses, mausoleums, and bridges (London, 1800), pl. 1 NOTES: Some of the plates are dated 1820. This is because this copy of the book is a later reprint of the original volume. The plates dated 1800 are probably the ones that were reprinted unaltered.

NOTES: This unidentified scheme could possibly be for Minley Manor (Hampshire) where Castings continued George Devey's work on the estate. The drawing must date after 1886 as Castings set up his offices in Lincoln's Inn Fields following Devey's death in that year.

NOTES: Cirencester Park, part of the Bathurst Estate, was designed and planted by Allen Bathurst from 1711 with assistance from Alexander Pope.

NOTES: The monument is an exedra, an outdoor seat, that contains niches for sixteen busts by Rysbrack and Scheemakers, and a central oval niche for the head of Mercury.

NOTES: This is considered one of the foremost examples of the Swedish National Romantic style.
