THE CITY OF COVENTRY,

close at hand, is a feature of too much importnnco to be overlooked ;
hut. as t,:e advantages seem to follow in such quick succession, Mr.
Robins will desist from prolonging this announcement until he has
made his survey—only observing the present very low rental exceeds
FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR, AND THE
PROPERTY IS ALL EXTRA-PAROCHIAL.
Ity way of conclusion, it affords the writer very great satisfaction to
join in and express a very concurrent opinion, and one that has be-
come manifest now-a-days, that
THE .kGRICUI,TURAL COM3IUNITY HATE BEEN
MUCH MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT,
a fact which a very few months will demonstrate beyond the possi-
bility of mi,kappreliensloii.
Particulars will be ready in due time ; in the meanwhile any fur-
ther inform atio-i may be had of Mr. Paine, solicitor, 4, Furuivals

A PRINCELY ESTATE AND DOMAIN,
freehold of inheritance, and known and appreciated throughout the
west of England as
THE FORD ABBEY AND DEMESNES,
and where it stands commended by public opinion as the great lion of
the country, and one of the finest things in England. Mr. Robins has
not yet hail the gratification of a personal survey, and therefore will
reserve its deserved encomium until he has, merely drawing the public
attention by a very condensed hint or two, which he has taken the
liberty to borrow from
DUGDALE'S HISTORY OF FORD ABBEY,
and which authority, Mr. Ii bins imagines, 11,11 be appre-
ciated beyond his, even when he has encountered the proposed en-

placed in
A PARK OF EXCEEDINGLY GREAT BEAUTY,
FULL OF DEER,
wherein the Woodland Scenery and the Waters contend for the prowl
ascendancy. The history of this pioperty is not a little interesting,
and M 7. Robins intends to append it to his descriptive particulars;
it may be, however, stated, that it is iu every respect adapted
to and
WORTHY TO BE A ROYAL ABODE ;
and the offices of every description are commensurate ; the gardens,
lawns, and pleasure-grounds are quite beantitill.
THE CELEBR TED RIVER AXE

and a sporting gentleman of rank will find everything he can des're
for miles around him. And it really should be rwticed that there
still the celebrated

MONKS' WALK, KEPT IN THE HIGHEST
STATE OF PRESERVATION.

And it would be almost sacrilege to omit stating that
THE ANCIENT TAPESTRY IN THE STATE ROOMS
IS SO MAGNIFICENT AS NOT TO FEAR
A COMPARISON THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE ;
and this observation is used advisedly, and by no means introduced
into the picture as a flight of fancy's sketch.
THE MANORS OF HOLDITCH AND L AMORE ABOUND IN
EVERY DESCRIPTION OF GAME.
The Farms are all within a ring fence. The Houses and Buildings
very good, and the tenantry quite exemplary, the word
" ARREAR" BEING REMOVED FROM THEIR VOCABULARY.
The present low rent exceeds
SIXTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR,
With this observation the present brief and imperfect representation
will end until it has been seen and appreciated by Mr. R., merely
observing, a purchaser will have in his early contemplation a sight
of one of

THE FINEST THINGS IN ENGLAND.
Such pretensions WITHIN, altogether corresponding with that which
is conceded alone to royalty.
The full announcement will appear in fourteen days, and the
printed particulars, with drawing of Ford Abbey, and plams of the
estate, will follow in quick succession, and then be had of Wm.
Salter Esq., Trustee and Solicitor, Chard; and at Mr. George
Robins's °tikes, Loudon.
