ITLE-GROVE, OLD BROMPTON.

:RATE

SCALE,
POSED in UNUSUALLY GOOD TASTE, and the VILLA so
CHASTE as to be WELL WORTHY of IMITATION.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is deputed by the
respectable proprietor to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETI-
TION, at the Auction Mart, on TnuRsDAY, the 30th of July, at
Twelve o'clock, a
SINGULARLY ELEGANT MODERN VILLA,

upon a scale not too large.
IT IS A BIJOU OF THE FIRST WATER,
and will not be appreciated save only by a personal review of it,
when it will be confessed it stands alone for the infinity of charms
which surround it. Thistle-grove is at Old Brompton, with ready
access to Kensington-gardens and Hyde-park, and the de-
lightful abode is placed in a little sequestered spot, just removed from
the noise and bustle of the public road. It partakes of the quietude
and repose so essential to good taste and a country life, with a prox-
imity to the metropolis of little more than a Short mile. The Villa
displays a proud distinction over all its neighbouring rivals. It is a
solid piece of architecture, based on the Corinthian order, adorned
by a conservatory in capital taste, with painted glass. And within
THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM

comfort is conspicuous in every department, and finished with a
degree of taste that will amply repay a ride from the metropolis,
The tact that prevails is of a peculiar cast; it disdains the prevailing
order, and takes the lead without any fear from a contemporary ;
indeed, ingenuity may be taxed, for it would be puzzled, to discover
a single want, and Mr. Robins invokes all those who would
POSSESS AN INCOMPARABLE GEM
_ . .

to seek ocular demonstration, and thus confirm this moderate report. It
stands within an acre (or perhaps less) of ground, laid out in such
good taste, that Repton would have gladly hailed it as his own off-
spring, and the ingenuity of separating the kitchen garden from the
extended and beautiful lawn is a master-piece of of ingenuity. At
the extreme end is

HUNDRED AND THIRTY ACRES OF RICH LAND, WITH
ITS CASTELLATED MANSION, SEATED ON AN EMI-

MR. GEORGE ROBINS 13 favoured with In-
structions from the Praprietor, to SUBMIT to PUBLIC
COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, July 30, at
Twelve, in One or Two Lots, as may be agreed at the time of sale,
:THE CELEBRATED AND INTERESTING PROPERTY,
LYPIATT PARK AND DEMESNE,

Freehold of inhealtance, and for its beauty challenges a comparison
with the most favoured spots throughout England ; indeed few places
can boast of more natural advantages; it is two miles only from
Stroud, from whence access to all parts, north, south, east, and west,
is readily obtained, twelve from Cheltenham, and within three hours'
ride of London, _ _ -

FORD ABBEY, IN DORSETSHIRE.
THE GREAT AND PROUD FEATURE OF THE COUNTY, THE
FORD ABBEY ESTATE, WITH ITS NEVER-ENDING DE-
LIGHTS, THE INVALUABLE FISHERY, ABUNDANCE OF
GAME, AND SPORT OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, AND,
" THOUGH LAST NOT LEAST IN OUR DEAR LOVE," THE
MAGNIFICENTLY FINE ABBEY, PRESENTING BY FAR
THE MOST CLASSICAL AND CELEBRATED MONASTERY
THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL
ARISING FROM THIS FINE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE
VALUE OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, AND ON
LEASE FOR LIVES, IS ABOUT 2,0001. A YEAR. IT IS
NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH
WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. AN IMPERATIVE SALE.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratifica-
tion in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM-
PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 9th
of July, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the trus-
tees for absolute sale, one of
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENTS
THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins,
without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he ap-
proaches the task with fear and trembling. The only saving clause by
which he can well seek to soften the reproaches of an enlightened and
deeply-read community is alone to be found in the liberty the com-
poser will take with authors so highly gifted, that he must indeed be
a bold man who will not yield assent to his researches. Dugdale
is no mean authority, and with this, and a few introductory facts, the
herculean task must be approached.
