MAN'S ABODE.

On this occasion Mr. ROBINS invokes with all possible anxiety
and humility, that the reader will avail himself of ocular demon-
stration, 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 di-
rected by an excellent Prince, whose urbanity is proverbial, and
where religious intolerance, and an English Winter, are alike
strangers to the land. It would he exceedingly difficult to find a
parrallel case to the property under review. The Scenery is of sur •
passing beauty ; the climate opposed to all the inclemency of En.
land—roses blooming throughout the fearful winter that has
passed ;—its limpid waters and meandering btreams;
AN AMPHITHEATRE OF LOFTY HILLS;
adorned by the Monarch of the Forest, in countless numbers, with

VALLEYS TEEMING IN WILD FERTILITY.
Independently of this very imperfect sketch of its manifold at.
tributes, 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 b,side a
system of rural economy, combined with the Italian system of Agri.
culture, 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 astound.
ing to know that there are eleven spacious Rooms on each suite,
a dining hall, 40 feet by 24 in height and width, and an infinity of
bed-chambers; the window-sills throughout the Mansion are com-
posed of Cedar and Cypress, a plan entirely opposed to Italian no-
tions, and water laid on throughout the range of Apartments. 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
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 ex.
penditure of a splendid establishment. A Drawing of the Mansion,
which gives but an imperfect notion of its various beauties, may be
seen; and it should have been remarked that if early possession be
desirable, the abode is complete, and handsomely finished in the
English style, to be included in the purchase of the property.
"THE FEE SIMPLE OF THE WHOLE"
may be accomplishd by moderate means.

Full particulars may be obtained at Mr. ROBINS' Offices,
in Covent garden.

THE WOODSPEEN MANOR. FARM AND ESTATE.
200 ACRES, NEAR TO NEWBURY, BERKS.
By MR. GEORGE ROBINS,

At the Checquers Inn, Speenharnland, on THURSDAY, July 11, at
Twelve for One, in Lots,
AFREEHOLD ESTATE, very pleasantly
situate; it is called

WOODSPEEN MANOR FARM,
a little removed from the Bath road, and within a mile of
BENHAM PARK, THE EARL OF CRAVEN'S SEAT,
and only two miles from Newbury, one of the best markets in Eng
land, and about midway between London and Bath. The farm
abode is quite adapted to every good purpose, and includes some.
what more than usual comfort and accommodation, inasmuch as
there are three sittings rooms, eight bed.chambera, and all useful
offices within and without ; those for agricultural purposes all that
can be required.

THE FARM IS UNUSUALLY COMPACT—ONE HUNDRED
AND TWENTY-ONE ACRES,
within a ring fence; and the ornamental timber gives it a park.
like appearance. There are besides some valuable peat meadows
adjoinirg Benham Park, and forty-eight acres of pasture land.
The situation of the latter is perfectly irresistible, with a view to
erect thereon

" A GENTLEMAN'S RESIDENCE,"
and there are two lodge entrances already built, in anticipation of
this probable event, and five acres of plantation to adorn it (an ele-
gant cottage villa and land may be rented hard by). Independently
of the beauty of the surrounding scenery, the Estate claims even a
more solid advantage in the shape of income. The easy approach
to Newbury Market ensures an immense return for all the produce
of the land, beside the minor appendages of butter, cream, and
poultry, which aid considerably the annual return. To a sporting
man It ha. peculiar charms, being a manor farm, and within a
quarter of a mileof the Craven Hunt. There is abundance of game
and good fishing. The Estate comprehends altogether
