The most UNIQUE RELIC amongst ENGLAND'S TREASURES,.
and indeed the MUST INTERESTING 'MONUMENT of the:
POET'S FAME which this Country boasts:
MK ROBINS feels highly flattered at having-!
been -elected by the representatives of the late Mr. Thomas:
Court to SUBMIT to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction.
Mart, London, on THUMAY, the 16th of September, at twelve, ,
A truly heart-stirring relic of a most Orions period, and of
ENGLAND'S 'IMMORTAL BARD,
which, by the course of events, sad directions contained ire.
the will of the late owner, is compelled to be offered to public.,
sale ; yet with every fervent hope that its appreciation by the publics
will secure for it a safeguard and continuance at the Birth and.;
Burial-place of the Poet,
Shakspere's House, at Stratford-on-Avon,
THE MOST HONOURED MONUMENT OF THE
GREATEST GENIUS THAT EVEIt LIVED.
has long been a shrine.
to which Pilgrims of all nations, ranks, and conditions, from the
Prince to the Peasant, have resorted to do homage to the mighty
dead ; the interesting record of which is traced by the countless.
autographs covering the walls of the room in which the Bard first
saw the light, presenting a simple but striking instance of the spon-
taneous and universal devotion of mankind to the great Poet of
Nature. To attempt to panegyrize this interesting and singular
property would be, to quote the Poet's beautiful lines—
" To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper light
To seek the beauteous eye of Heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess!'
Mr. Robins, therefore, simply invites all who take an interest
in this monumental relic (and who is there arnorgst ns does no,) to
pay a visit to Stratford-on-Avon, in the f ll assurance that what he
will see and feel, now that this remarkable property may be pos-
sessed, will raise a spirit of competition hitherto unknown.
On passing through the town, the visitor is struck by the quaint
insc
THription,

ANCIENTMANOR HALL, with CHAPEL ATTACHED,

MR. ROBINS is favoured with instructions to

situated in a beautiful part of Northamptonshire, four miles from
Daventry, six from Weedon Station, about fourteen from the county
town, not far distant from Leamington, and within sight of War-
wickshire.
This famed property is briefly noticed in " Dugdale's Monasticon "
as Catesby Nunnery, and since more particularly described in the
" Beauties of Northamptonshire ;" and to' which the reader is re-
ferred. It presents strong claims to those who would invest with
security. and at t le same time povess some feeling of admiration for,
and who know how to appreciate the charm and importance con-
nected with an estate possessing so many interesting relics of an-
tiquity, and since that period the true stamp of the good old English
ti ate. The first objTHE ANCIENT MANOR HALL,
ect of importance to be noticed is
pit abode of singular pretension, erected with due regard to dura-
bility, placed in the centre of the domain, and commanding from its
front a quiet, picturesque, and lovely scene. It is a quaint and sin-
gular building in stone, of a very early period, containing aurnerous
lofty and well-proportioned chambers, many of them enriched with
fine old carved oak, offering every accommodation for a large family,
which, if assisted by a tasteful and judicious outlay for embellishment
and furniture, in accordance with Its character, a residence not only
of the first importance but of extraordinary attraction would be
obtained.
A PORTION OF ONE WING IS DEVOTED TO A CHAPEL,
DULY CONSECRATED,
fitted up with carved oak pulpit, reading-desk, and pews, and con-
stantly used for Divine service. The offices are numerous, and open
to a spacious court-yard, opposite to which is a capital range of
stabling, coach-houses, &c. A pleasure garden of some extent is in
front, and a
ROOKERY, WITH A BEAUTIFUL GROVE OF LOFTY LIMES
close to the mansion, whilst a road through
A NOBLE AVENUE OF STATELY ELMS,
leads to an ancient cemetery, and the ruins of a chapel, a time-
hallowed spot of singular beauty, presenting a highly interesting
feature, the interesting village of Catesby, in all its pristine quietude,
being close at hand, forming no small addition to the importance and
rental of the estate. Several fish-ponds adorn the grounds, particu-
larly one of considerable promise, encircled by a grove of finely
grown trees, where numerous wild-fowl congregate, and a never-
failing supply of fish is obtained.
THE DOMAIN INCLUDES 646 ACRES OF FIRST-RATE LAND,
principally the richest pasture, well supplied with water, and several
woods, affording excellent preserves for game, in the parishes of
Catesby and llallidon, divided into
FIVE CONVENIENT FARMS,
each with suitable residences, the principal farm having a newly
erected abode, with capital bu klings, let upon leases to a highly
respectable tenantry, and producing a rentai exceeding 1,0001, a-year,
but there can be no question a considerable increase may be obtained.
The annual value, with the mansion house and land attached to it,
being estimated under the most adverse times for a farmer, at more

Llama 1 5001. A YEAR,
Estate is free from LA'S]:l:7ktf.grld__other sources of profit; and the
