Bradbury and Evans. 1858. ~ Edward Kemp (1817-1891). His technical training was gained in the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society at Chiswick, under Dr. Lindley, and subsequently in apprenticeship at Chatsworth under Sir Joseph Paxton. In September, 1843, at the age of twenty-five, he was made superintendent of Birkenhead Park, Liverpool, and the remainder of his life was closely connected with that particular enterprise. He designed a number of private places, several of which are illustrated and described in the various editionsof his books. His debut as a writer came in 1850, when he put out a small volume under the title "How to Lay out a Small Garden." This was an important work and became a great influence on the high-Victorian Mixed Style of garden design. For this second edition it had dropped the word ‘small’ and become a widely influential manual on the design of country estates. Among his major commissions were Hesketh Park, Southport, and Stanley Park, Liverpool, in which he continued Paxton's later trend towardsincreasing formality of design and the use of viewing terraces within the park.
