THE SOUTHAMPTON WATERS,

which occasionally lend their refreshing aid at high water to im-
proYe the adjacent meadows.
THE PARK GROUNDS, EXTENDING TO NEAR ONE

HUNDRED ACRES OF RICH PASTURE,
are environod by plantations, luxuriant in their growth, with walks
which imperceptibly lead around the domain.
THE PANORAMIC VIEW

is contrasted and relieved by never-ending breaks and peeps through
the woods, catching at every turn a new feature. Throughout the
landscape, harmony pervades everywhere—the ensemble :is per-
fect. The reflecting mind will, while luxuriating here amid this
splendid scene, pause awhile to exclaim, that the consummation of
all earthly wishes may be imagined in this favoured spot.
THE WOODLAND AND WATER SCENERY PRESENTS

A COMBINATION OF SURPASSING BEAUTY.
While the undulation in the grounds, terminated by a Hermitage
in a sequeitered spot, and within the groves, with the warbling of
the Nightingale's sweet sounds, cannot fail to bring Elysium into
view.
THE FRENCH GARDEN AND PLEASURE GROUNDS,
although of recent creation, are already quite beautiful, the.
Kitchen Gardens of considerable extent, are prolific beyond mea-
sure ; the congeniality of the climate lends its helping hand to the
prolongation of life. Longevity is proverbial here, and it has been
uniformly conceded as a point without doubt that the
ELITE OF THE ARISTOCRACY OF ENGLAND
will be found for many a long year to have selected this vicinity
for their summer and autumnal repose ; the Villa under review has
long been denominated " the pet place" of
SOUTHAMPTON'S FAVOURED VICINAGE.'
Winter and its bleak winds are almost estranged by the screen
which is afforded in the rising ground and thickly wooded planta-
tions—the by-gone winter has demonstrated this fact, for it failed to
do injury to the shrubs and plants; it has already been truly said,
that the neighbourhood is exceedingly recherche, it needs only to
be added, that as the
REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON
has for some years been subject to a little uncertainty, the pos-
sessor of Brooklands will add to its other qualifications by appending
in conspicuous letters, the never to be mistaken word " hospitality,"
this will place the matter beyond doubt at :the next election. A
member of _

_
THE YACHT CLUB
would find this delightful spot very congenial to his aquatic views.
Indeed, it would puzzle a conjurer, after summing up the various
attributes to which Brooklands puts in so powerful a claim, to find
a single fault, or a wish that may not be gratified here. To con.
elude, the admirers of field sports will find ample scope to gratify
their propensity. Those who hold religious feeling in a proper
light will be glad to know that the church skirts the Park; and,
as economy is the order of the day, it may be well to observe that
coals are landed close by, upon such low terms that a hard winter is
not to be dreaded.
