SALES BY AUCTION.

THE RE-SALE OF THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE,

IN COVSEQUENCE VIE PURCHASER, THE REV. LAW-
RENCE (IWYNNE, OF TEIGNMOUTH, HAVING FAILED
TO PAY THE REQUIRED DEPOSIT.

THE SALE WILL BE PEREMPTORY.

THE GREAT AND PROUD FEATURE OF THE COUNTY IS
THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE, WITH ICS NEVER-ENDING
• DELIGHTS, 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 MONAS•
TERY THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE PRESENT LOW

CLUDING 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.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much
in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM-
PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY NEXT,
September 3, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the
trustees for absolute sale, and in consequence of the Rev. Lawrence
Gwynn having failed to pay the deposit,
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENT
TIIROUGIIOUT ENGLAND.

And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins,
without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he approaches the
tAik with fear and trembling. The herculean task, however, must
be approached.

THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES
are to be traced back to a very distant day, and they have ever since
maintained their proud superiority over
EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND,
It is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising
Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey—
An old, old monastry once, and now
Still older mansion, of a rich and rare
• Mix'd Gothic, such as artists all allow
Few specimens yet left us can compare.

the Tudor styre;'find may 'be &Tr
about the How of Henry Flit. ; but to describe it as It deserves is
felt to be far beyond the reach o the limited capacity of the com-
poser, and even much wiser heads would b 3 puzzled in the attempt
to do it justice—it Is Indeed
THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST.

Tts fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to
generation, and It is now avowed to have no successful rival amid.
the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country.
The first impression on beholding this

ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE
the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory; his
mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and
religious state—one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound-
less admiration; it WAS a joyous spectacle,, but Mr. Robins cannot
too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob-
jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ;
they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is
to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded
to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu-
sion; the form prescribed to the length of an announcement will not ad-
mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to
go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least
to the learned, .and all such as are well versed in our history ; and
he is fortunately enabled, by the ass'stance of a very highly talented
lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her
own, and guided by a judgment and cleverness that has never been
held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant
parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par-
ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a
beautiful drawing of the Abbey.
The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of us. It is on
the borders of the three line counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset,
15 miles from Taunton, ,3 from Chard, about 50 miles from Bristol
and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 5% hours from London,,
which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about
4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' rii eof Exeter. The
county in which the Abbey is placed will not yield to any other.
The reader needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of
the monks in the selection of their lands was never questioned, and,
amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for
the accuracy of their judgment.
In selecting the best of everything, even
THE FAT OF THE LAND

country.

Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c. This description of grass land is
unlikely to be affected by any thane as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and
the property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad-
vantages, an indisputably fine and choice property for the invest-
ment of money, with a most enjoyable domain for residence, being
in a perfectly rural distrkzt, and in the centre of several packs of
hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will he very

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS.
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by, nature, and by art scouted.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happinels to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—llow to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may Acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years andt en."
These interostinr, little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and ,o;litIr fa' they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, ~••••-.- in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated throusn
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation )f our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.
To be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147,
Fleet-street; Hannay, 63, Oxford.street ; Mann, 39, Conthill; or
direct from the Author, 10, Argyle-place, Regent-street (leading to

matters daily till Three, and in the Evenings from Seven till Nine.

EXTENSION OF THE POTATO

We beg to call the particular attention of our readers
to the following letter, and also to the statement made
in a letter froni Birmingham, under the head " Potato
Crpl," that an immediate inquiry may be made by them
into the oondition of their turnip crops. We join with
our correspondent in expressing a hope that our readers
will communicate to us the result of their inquiries, as
the subject is one of immense importance.
