Dr. Akenside, I perceive, is no conjurer in architecture; especially when he talks of the ruins of Persepolis, which are no more Gothic than they are Chinese.

Letter from Thomas Gray to Mr. How ; Cambridge, Sept. 10, 1763.
Gray schreibt : "I mean our skill in gardening, or rather laying out grounds : and this is no small honour to us, since neither Italy nor France ever had the least notion of it, nor yet do at all comprehend it when they see it. That the Chinese have this beautiful art in high perfection, seems probable from the Jesuits' letters, and more from Chamber's little discourse, published some years ago ; but it is very certain we copied nothing from them, nor had any thing but Nature for our model. It is not forty years since the art was born among us ; and it is sure that there was nothing in Europe like it ; and as sure, we then had no information on this head from China at all."
