SELL BY PRIVATE 'MEATY,
A SINGULARLY ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA
and corresponding Offices, one of those especially adapted to mani-
fest without doubt the immeasurable difference existing in respect
to the comfortless habitation of a Tuscan, and
THE DELIGHT AND SNUGGERY OF AN
ENGLISH GENTLEMAN'S ABODE.
On this occasion Mr. ROBINS invokes, with all possible anxiety
and humility, that the reader will avail himself of ocular demon-
station, as the usual limit of an announcement will necessarily be a
poor substitute for the varied charms that encompass
THIS ITALIAN PARADISE.
The Traveller need not be reminded that Tuscany is the most
favoured of

ALL THE ITALIAN STATES,
possessing a Government directed by an Excellent Prince, whose
urbanity is proverbial, and where religious intolerance, and
THE ENNUI OF A TEDIOUS ENGLISH WINTER,
are alike strangers to the land. It would be exceedingly difficult
to find a parallel case to the property under review ;
THE SCENERY IS OF SURPASSING BEAUTY;
the Climate opposed to all the inclemency of England—roses un-
ceasingly blooming throughout the severest winter; its limpid Waters
and meandering Streams ;

AN AMPHITHEATRE OF LOFTY HILLS;
ADORNED BY THE MONARCH OF THE FOREST,
in countless numbers, with
VALLIES TEEMING IN WILD FERTILITY.
Independently of this very imperfect sltetch of its manifold attri-
bqtes, which soar far above the humble pretensions of the writer to
describe in adequate terms, the worthy Possessor has discovered
no inconsiderable tact in having united not only the Elegance and
Coziness (if such a word may be permitted), of an English fire-
side, as opposed to its comfortless contemporaries, but adopting
beside a system of rural Economy, combined with the Italian
system of Agriculture; and
A DAIRY IN THE ENGLISH TASTE.
The Mansion is adapted to afford every comfort that a large
Family can desire ; yet ingenuity has so far presided, that the Pro-
prietor, with a limited establishment, has never found himself over-
housed. 'Without this commentary, it might appear a little as-
tounding to know, that there are Eleven Spacious Rooms on each
suite; a Dining Hall, 40 feet by 24 in heighth and width, and an
infinity of Bed Chambers ; the Window sills throughout the Man-
sion are composed of Cedar and Cypress, a plan entirely opposed to
Italian notions ; and water laid on throughout the rango of Apart-
ments. The Court-yard incloses Stabling for twelve horses, and
standing for four carriages.

THE GARDENS ARE ABOUT TWO ACRES,
and exceedingly prolific.

-THE DOMAIN INCLUDES
THIRTEEN HUNDRED ACRES.
(A great portion still remains to be cultivated.) The produce is
CORN, WINE, AND OIL, IN GREAT ABUNDANCE;
with fuel from the neighbouring forest to be had without end, and
at no expense. There are strong indications of minerals to seduce
those who aim at a large income ; and the economist who sojourns
here will find a very moderate revenue equal to the legitimate
expenditure of a splendid establishment. A drawing of the Man-
sion, which gives but an imperfect notion of its various beauties,
may be seen, and it should have been remarked, that if early pos-
session be desirable the abode is complete, and handsomely fur.
nished in the English style, to be included in the purchase of the
property.

" THE FEE SIMPLE OF THE WHOLE"
may be accomplished by moderate means.
Full particulars may be obtained at Mr. Robins's Offices, in
Covent-garden.

On the banks of LOCH LOMOND, a distinguished EST ATE for
OCCUPATION or INVESTMENT, FIVE MILES from
DUMBARTON, and within TWENTY. FIVE HOURS'
JOURNEY of LONDON.

MR. GEORGE—ROBINS has great pleasure in
announcing that he is favoured by the Instructions of the
Proprietor to OFFER FOR SALE by PRIVATE TREATY, a
singularly delightful Freehold Estate, including
THE CASTLE OF TULLICHEWEN,
presenting one of the -
FINEST SPECIMENS OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE,
WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL PARK, CULTIVATED LANDS,
AND EXTENSIVE WOODS,
_ .

delightfully situate within Five Miles of the
GIGANTIC ROCK AND FORTRESS OF DUMBARTON,
on the most interesting point of the Clyde, and only Twenty Miles
from the city of Glasgow.
This splendid Property is now, by weans of the Birmingham
and Grand Junction Railways and the Steam Communication
brought within a short Journey of
TWENTY-FIVE HOURS FROM THE GREAT
METROPOLIS.
THE CASTLE STANDS PROUDLY IN A FINELY
WOODED PARK,
and it is one of the leading features of this renowned spot, over-
looking the most magnificent Scenery of Scotland, and altogether
commensurate to the legitimate claims of
SCOTCH AND ENGLISH HOSPITALITY.
A NOBLEMAN OF RANK,
will be quite at his ease ; although one of less pretensions, and who
desires only to locate at Tullichewen for a limited season, will find
the great desideratum of its not being inconveniently large, with
the recreation of

SHOOTING AND FISHING,
as auxiliaries, to an extent that few can parallel.
THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO
FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX IMPERIALACRES ;
the cultivated land is underlet at 5001. a year, independently of the
woods, which are in high condition. The mansion is suitably fur-
nished; the aid of Gillow and Dowbiggin, the celebrated artistes
in decorative furniture, having been called in to complete it ; and
the appendages, in Pictures and articles of taste and vertu, give to
it a decided supremacy over all its neighbouring rivals. The
offices are fully equal to the most sanguine expectation. The
moors do not merely find excellent pasturage for the cattle, but
ample scople for those who would recreate in shooting black and
red grouse, woodcocks, and all sorts of game.
LOCH LOMOND,
THE " NE PLUS ULTRA" OF SCOTLAND'S FAMED
LAKES,
within a short mile of the Castle And demesne, will delight the
amateurs in wild fowl shooting; and those inclined to salmon and
trout fishing will find it to their hearts' content in the River Leven.
Such is an imperfect outline of a few of the prominent attributes
to which this famed property puts in an irresistible claim. The
difficult task, however, is still in abeyance—to pourtray in suitable
language
THE SURPASSING BEAUTY OF THE SPLENDID
SCENERY, EMBRACING THE LOVELY LOCH AND
LOFTY BEN LOMOND,
(the greatest features amid Scotland's never-ending splendour
and variety) is an undertaking to which the humble individual
intrusted with the conduct of this sale eels most acutely how
inadequate he is to the duty that has been imposed on him ;
his chief relief, nay, " his main stay" (if he may be permitted the
observation) arises out of a reminiscence that even

SCOTIA'S OWN BARD,
found himself in the same dilemma. All those who have not par-
taken of the good fortune to sojourn amid the beauteous scenery
before alluded to, or to behold Loch Lomond sleeping in the arms
of her hundred hills by
THE LIGHT OF A SEPTEMBER MOON,
he would invoke with all humility, yet earnestness, to search for
what the greatest Novelist of by-gone days has said of
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF
ALL THE CALEDONIAN LAKES.
The magic touch of his never-erring muse must awaken a sensation
first to see and then to possess
THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THIS VICINITY,
" So wondrous wild, the whole might seem
The scenery of a fairy dream."
Next in our kind remembrance

IS BEN LOMOND,
which will necessarily pa: take of its due meed of praise.
This mountain,
LIKE SAUL AMIDST HIS COMPANIONS,
o'ertops all contemporaries. The valley, teeming in wild fertility,
relieved by pastures and corn land, and varied by
ALL THE SOFTER BEAUTIES OF NATURE,
completes a scene which can only be appreciat)d by ocular demon-
stration. To conclude, it is desirable to make known that this
invaluable'property is offered for sale at a price to give ample return
of interest upon the capital and one half of the purchase-money
may remain on security of tine Estates, at four per cent. There
are three beautiful Views of the Castle and Loch to be seen at
Mr. Robins's Offices.
