At that time in England, the literati who attacked French styles and advocated the natural garden were, on the whole, opponents of the concentration of power in the aristocracy and monarchy. It is not surprising that when the master architect at the side of the King made an attack on the natural English garden he unavoidably drew attention.
當時在英國批判幾何園林、提倡自然園林的文人圈，多半是反對君主極權的輝格黨人，偏偏在國王身邊的御用建築師錢柏斯，卻大肆攻擊自然園林，難免引人不悅。
