Brown's patrons saw the idealized landscapes he was creating for them in terms of the Italian landscape painters they admired and collected, as Kenneth Woodbridge first observed in the landscape at Stourhead, a " Brownian " landscape with an un-Brownian circuit walk in which Brown himself was not involved.

Although the main design for the estate at Stourhead was created by Colen Campbell, there were various other architects involved in its evolution through the years.

It ’ s assumed that his contribution to Stourhead was in this capacity.

The family seat, until 1717, was Stourhead.

Due to his book Vitruvius Britannicus, Colen Campbell was chosen as the architect for banker Henry Hoare I's Stourhead house ( illustration below ), a masterpiece that became the inspiration for dozens of similar houses across England.

The manor was bought in the 1780s by the Hoares of Stourhead in Wiltshire.

Hoare was an extremely wealthy man, having inherited the Stourhead estate from his grandfather in 1785.

” He worked on Stourhead between the years of 1749-1755.

Soon after other English gardens such as Stourhead, Stowe, West Wycombe, Holkham, and Rousham were to follow suit, creating a type of garden which eventually would become known internationally as the English Landscape Garden.

Follies () were an important feature of the English garden and French landscape garden in the 18th century, such as Stowe and Stourhead in England and Ermenonville and the gardens of Versailles in France.

According to historian Ken Duxbury, such structures added a picturesque charm to the landscape, highlighting points of visual interest along the trail of the paths and serving a role not dissimilar to the grottos, classical temples, follies, hermitages and pagodas along the circuit walks of the classic ‘ English Landscape School ’ gardens such as Stourhead.

The first royalty whom Mama ever waited on in the White House was Queen Marie of Rumania, who came to a State dinner given in her honor on October 21, 1926.

She was not an overnight guest in the White House, but Mr. Ike Hoover, the chief usher, had Mama check her fur coat when she came in, and take care of her needs.

Mama was very patriotic, and one of the duties she was proudest of was repairing the edges of the flag that flew above the White House.

This was not before the House but before the Judiciary Committee, where he asked for action on one of his pet bills, that calling for an investigation of the coal-railroad monopoly.

He soon quarreled with all the party leaders in the House, and came to be regarded with detestation by regular Democrats as a professional radical leading a small pack of obedient terriers whose constant snapping was demoralizing to party discipline.

In the judgment of Chief of Staff Scott it was ironic that the draft policy of a Democratic President, aimed at Germany, had to be pushed through the House of Representatives by the ranking minority member of the Military Affairs Committee -- a Republican Jew born in Germany!!
