FREEHOLD FARM,

THE RISEHOLME ESTATE., APPROACHING THE CITY
OF LINCOLN, ONE OF_ THE MOST COMPACT PRO.
PERTIES THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, WITH ITS
FAMED MANSION, PARK, AND ORNAMENTAL
WATERS, AND 1,533 ACRES OF LAND, IMME.
DIATELY SURROUNDING IT.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has received in-
structions from the Executors of the late Reverend
ROBERT CHAPLIN, to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the
CITY ARMS, LINCOLN, ON FRIDAY, May 24th, at One for
Twoo'clock precisely,

A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD PROI'I3ItTY,
distinguished as

_
TUN RISEHOLME 'STATE,
and unquestionably one of the

MOST FAVOURED IN LINCOLN'S COUNTY;
indeed the just renown it has enjoyed for many a long year, renders
it less important to go into a detail of its varied qualifications ; tke
writer cannot, however, resist the delight and satisfaction of relating
a few of its leading attributes. It is within two short miles of
THE CITY OF LINCOLN;
and the traveller to the North will be delighted to retiagnise it
in passing the Lodge-gate, where the Mail deposits and racesvesa
London bag

THE STONE MANSION IS ONE
OF CONSIDERABLE OUTWARD PRETENSIONS;
and it claims to possess within an almost superabundance of conveni.
ence and comfort; it is not however intended to disguise the fact that
a lady (recherche in her taste) may indulge in her laudable propensity,
and distinguish it here in the ornamental decorations. The principal
rooms are of good proportions, and
THE BANQUETING ROOM
seems to have been originally constructed with a view to accom-
modate

THE RESPECTABLE CONSTITUENCY OF
THE LOYAL CITY OF LINCOLN,
and the time, it should sCeltra, is net far distant when this ooneura-
mation, so devoutly to be wished, will be accomplished. From all
the Rooms the views are greatly augmented and improved by the
ORNAMENTAL WATERS IN THE PARK,
which are of an extent, and so well imagined, that it is net dim.
eult to bring

THE FAMED VIRGINIA WATERS
into Immediate recollection. The little. Park. the Pleasure Grounds,
and Plantations, and Wilderness which screen the abode from the
wintry wind, are managed with so much tact and dexterity, by
means of Vistas, selected with corresponding judgment, that a dis-
tant view, including, in the intermediate space,
THE CATHEDRAL OF LINCOLN,
lends its helping hand in varying and adorning the Picture ; and it
is a singular fact, that in
A DEMESNE EXTENDING OVER ONLY
FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND THLITY-THREE ACRES,
the Turnpike-road from London should form a boundary of no less
than two long miles, with a luxuriant Plantation in the shape clan
ornamental belt, extending the whole distance.

The offices connected with the Mansion are well seeduded, and
combine everything that a worthy possessor of the
"PET PLACE OF LINCOLN"

esn desire.

THE EXTENSIVE WALLED GARDENS,
with Grapery and Greenhouse, render it independent of auxiliary
aid and expense.
SIR RICHARD SUTTON, BART.,
who sojourns not far off hunts this county with great spirit, and
Lord Yarborough's Hounds are close at hand. Next in succession
for favourable report are the Farm-houses and Ag icultural Build-
ings; they are well placed, of a superior order, including all the com-
forts that:

FIRST.RATE YEOMEN SHOULD ENJOY.
The present low rental (with the power to re-possess the Farms
next Lady-day), and including the value of the Mansion and Park,
may be estimated at more than
TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR.
The reader will probably at this period think that quite enough
has been offered to claim especial attention, and that nothing very
piquant has been omitted. " Nous verrons."

. .
THE ESTATE IS EXTRA PAROCHIAL,
except as to a small portion, and
THE WHOLE IS FREE FROM TITME,
save only a fixed modus of 151. a year. To this may be added that
THE TENANTRY ARE HAPPY, CONTENTED,

and (what is no mean advantage)
ARE ALL AFFLUENT.
It is most cheering to see the never-ending wheat ricks which
adorn their rick yards.
In conclusion, it may be remarked, that a purchaser must be
fastidious over much who will not be delighted with
"THE ROUND UNVARNISHED TALE"
which is here so imperfectly told; and lastly, it is strongly suggested
to all such as agree with Mr. Robins, that the Funds are at an ex-
ceedingly high and feverish price, and that Land has been depressed
till very recently in the same proportion, to make a visit to Rise-
holme, when, by means of occular demonstration, they will proclaim
the present announcement to be very much within the limited meed
of praise that it should have provoked.

The Estate can be seen, accompanied with a Particular of Sale,
which will have abeautiful Drawing of Riseholme and a correct Plan
of the Estate. To be had (at 6d. each) at the City Arms, Lincoln ;
