ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book has been a multidisciplinary study of publications by the Loudon's in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. It began by considering the radical origins of the Gardeners Magazine. The aim of this book has been to elucidate the contributions made by the Loudon's to gardening and democratic discourse, and to notions of the public and private spheres. The book concluded that differences of class and gender written into the variety of forms taken by the publications of the Book Manufactory of Bayswater, were shaped by assumptions of reading audiences, whilst, at the same time contributing to them. Moreover, the greater stratification was symptomatic of the industrialisation of the book trade, which led to an increase in numbers of books produced, particularly at the bottom and middle-price range.
