ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINED TASTE.
This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by
lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled walks between rows of
umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with or-
namental waters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with foam, and
here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park, which is

boundless extent, and imparting Just such an air of tempered wild-
ness as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those
who are inclined to look rather for the evidences of the superintend-
ing hand of care and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in-
crease the charms of a spot so rich In nature's beauties. Of the orna-
mental waters in front of the Abbey it is recorded—

By a river, which its softened way did take

a ring fence. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; many Lords
and Nobles are amongst those who prefer to domesticate in this
admired county, and within a few miles of the abbey, in the ad-
joining county of Somerset, are the splendid seats of Earl Poulett and
Lord Bridport. Markets are everywhere abundant ; in fact, Mr.
Robins has taxed his ingenuity in vain to try to discover a fault.
