THAT FAIRY LAND

is in view. Of the residence little has yet been said (a!though an
outlay of 6,000/ has just been expended on its completion), and it may
be well to observe that, without being encumbered with the nuisance
of too large a domicile, there is all and everything a family (not
too large) can desire. It has been erected within the last seven
years, and whatever call be understood by the comprehensive term
of comfort will be found to hold a prominent place here ; but
WITHIN THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM,
is placed a GAZEEBO of•NOVEL FORM,
and so ingeniously contrived that the beauteous scenery by which
it is so entirely surrounded is seen with immensely increased effect.
It is really quite impossible to do justice to the tact that has pre-
sided over this great feature of the abode. Its form is duodecagon,
there are five windows, each diversifying the scene; and th'cre ate
twelve angles.

The ingenuity that has conceived this happy effort to give ad-
ditional effect to the magnificent scene is unquestionable.

IT EXHIBITS A PANORAMIC VIEW,
THAT YIELDS TO NOTHING THROUGHOUT ENGLAND,
softened by the intermixture of features the most romantic and
picturesque—

" Till breathless, as we grow when feeling mos ;
And silent, we stand in thoughts too deep
For utt,ranee,"
it produces an ensemble such as the writer of this imperfect sketch
has never before enjoyed. To give an adequate representation is
quite out of the question— its beauty and its loveliness altogether
forbid it, but it may be permitted to observe that

THE RIVER MEDWAY AND THE MORE,
which is in the distance, is, at high water, on visiting terms with
Berkeley Lodge.

AN ENGLISH FLEET OF 100 VESSELS
has not unfrequently aided this splendid picture. To return for
a moment to the deer -ne—the grounds are very extensiveand
luxui iant beyond imagination. There is not a landscape gardener
that will not be proud to take a lesson here, and the Proprietor
has added so much of ingenuity, and of variety, that the scene ~
never tires—at every turn something new and beautiful is pre- 2
sented.
In the centre is

justice: we know of nothing comparable with the scene, so as to
give it that vivid colouring by which those who have not had
ocular demonstration, may recognise its wild phenomena. And
now the composer feels that he must compassionate with his
readers, and arrive at a conclusion.
THE DEMESNE AROUND IT IS 14 ACRES,

corresponding, and the whole in complete apple-pie order. It is ,
four miles from Canterbury ; and the society everywhere is pro..

hunting, and fishing without much trouble.
