SALES BY AUCTION.

AT ATHENS.
A FREELIOLD ESTATE WITHIN a MILE of the ACRD.
POLIS and CITY, a SHOOTING and HUNTING VILLA;
pith 380 ACRES of LAND. '

MR. GEORGE ROBINS, with feelings of
unmixed pleasure and satisfaction, makes known that he
is honoured by having been selected as the humble individual to
OFFER for SALE by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Mart,
London, on THURSDAY, the Bth of August, at Twelve, a 'SIN-
GULARLY DELIGHTFUL FREEHOLD PROPERTY. And
he is proud to add that it is the FIRST ATTEMPT at a SUB-
MISSION to PUBLIC OPINION and COMPETITION of a
DISTINGUISHED ESTATE SO FAR REMOVED FROM
ENGLAND.

THIS IMPORTANT ESTATE
is within one mile of
THE CITY OF ATHENS,
Nearly

FOUR HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND

Within its plains, and a
SHOOTING OR HUNTING BOX, WITH EXTENSIVE

GARDENS,*
Before Mr. Robins ventures upon his fearfully difficult task, he
may well ask for a little forbearance with a kind public, in not
criticising too earnestlyor too severely this, his first essay as connected
with an attempt to describe a splendid estate so nearlyallied to
THE CLASSIC CITY OF ATHENS,
and so far removed from the usual sphere of his vocations—the city and
its vast renown he may safely leave to those who are well read in
the history of Greece ; his task, fortunately, is only to give in
the language of truth, however imperfectly told, an unpretending
description of the property under review. As it would require
the pen of the immortal Byron to do it adequate justice, the
writer may be well excused for approaching it with fear and
trembling; he will however venture only at a round, un.
varnished tale, leaving to the imaginative powers of those who seek
such a splendid repose, to fill up the vast, immeasurable space, which
his feeble effort must leave unaccomplished. The Villa may be
thus succinctly described : It is suited to a family not very large,
but whose minds are embued with reminiscences of the glory of this
once famed city.
