AMID THE MOST SPLENDID WOODLAND
SCENERY.

Ajira. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by the
_LVJL 'respected Proprietor with instructions to
SELL BY PRIVATE TREATY,
A SINGULARLY ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA
. .

arid corresponding Offic;s, one of those especially adapted to mani•
fest without doubt the immeasurable difference existing in respeci
to the comfortless habitation of a Tuscan, and
• THE DELIGHT AND SNUGGERY OF AN
ENGLISH GENTLEMAN'S ABODE.

On shis occasion Mr. ROBINS invokes, With. all possible
anxiety and humility, that the reader will avail himself of occular
demonstration, as the usual limit of an announcement will neces-
sarily be a poor substitute for the varied charms that encompass
.THIS ITALIAN PARADISE.

Thi Traieller 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 Wall the inclemency of England—roses unceas-
su throughout the fearful. Winter that has passed; its
limpid Waters and meandering Streams
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 ofits manifold
attributes, which soar far above the humble pretensions of the
writer to describe in adequate terms, the worthy Possessor has dis-
covered no inconsiderable tact in having united not only the Ele-
gance 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 sysfem of Agriculture ; and
A DAIRY IN THE ENGLISH TASTE.

The Mansion is adapted to afford every comfort that a large
Fainily 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
astounding tOlcriow, 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
Mansion are composed of Cedar and Cypress, a plan entirely op-
posed to Italian notions ; 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,

a•id 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 establiThment. 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' Offices, in
Covent-garden.
