VERY RARE FIRST EDITION – A LANDMARK BOOK IN THE HISTORY OF MODERN TOWN-PLANNING AND THE CONCEPT OF THE GARDEN CITY. “Ebenezer Howard was a shorthand writer at the Law Courts in London. His garden city plans were derived from reading Bellamay’s Looking Backward. He determined that the most practical way to realize Bellamy’s ideas in England was ‘to build by private enterprise pervaded by public spirit an entirely new town, industrial, residential and agricultural’. This was the idea upon which he enlarged in the book published in 1898 and which he carried forward nine months later by the formation of the Garden City Association.” PMM Howard was instrumental in creating the first garden city at Letchworth in 1903 and in 1919 the second at Welwyn. £5,250	Please select : JOHN BATE Gerard Blaes Bullion Report Ephraim Chambers Captain James Cook Charles Davenant Alexis de Tocqueville Nicholas Dubois de Chemant Francesco Feliciano William Hamilton Ebenezer Howard DAVID HUME Six 17th Century editions of the Koran Koran Koran Koran John Locke JOHN LOCKE JOHN LOCKE Thomas Masterson HENRI MATISSE JAMES AND JOHN STUART MILL Thomas Obicini LUCA PACIOLI John Parkinson JOHANN HEINRICH PESTALOZZI François PÉTIS DE LA CROIX William Petty Giovanni Sfortunati William Shaw Robert Simson Adam Smith Adam Smith Adam Smith Adam Smith Adam Smith SIR JAMES STEUART Robert Louis Stevenson Heinrich Stromer William Thom CUTHBERT TUNSTALL JOHN WHEELER Robert Wooffendale
