Not long ago I reported that Frederick Law Olmsted: Plans and Views of Public Parks was soon to be published by Johns Hopkins University Press. However in doing so I neglected also to mention the recent publication by this same publisher of the ninth volume in their definitive series cataloging Olmsted’s papers: The Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted: The Last Great Projects, 1890-1895
While the Papers series volumes are admittedly a bit on the expensive side, the excellence of the scholarship behind them as well as their comprehensiveness is indisputable. Needless to say, those deeply interested in the works of Olmsted would be remiss indeed not to at least consider the acquisition of these volumes for their respective permanent collections.
