Walpole, Horace. The history of the modern taste in gardening (1782 ed.).
Er schreibt : "The French have of late years adopted our style in gardens, but chusing to be fundamentally obliged to more remote rivals, they deny us half the merit, or rather the originality of the invention, by ascribing the discovery to the Chinese, and by calling our taste in gardening 'Le gout anglo-chinois'. I think I have shewn that this is a blunder."
