A FREEHOLD VILLA,
which, it may be safely affirmed, for its size, will not yield to any-
thing contemporaneous. It is, in fact, one of
THE MOST DELIGHFUL BIJOUX
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE KINGDOM.

and the great difficulty that presents itself to the composer is to do
it justice without encountering the idea of having too highly
coloured the landscape. However this arduous task shall be under-
taken.
BERKLEY LODGE IS HALF WAY ON TIIE DECLIVITY
AT BOUGHTON IIILI„
and its splendid grounds run parallel to the passing scene of It. is
interesting road. In days of yore Boughton Hill pre,ent'd a
fearful obstacle to enjoy, without alloy, all the accessori' s this
lovely spot had in store. In our boish days it was accounted
an herculean task to reach the summit, but Mr. APAciam, with his
powerful mind and road-making powers, soon removed the
imaginary difficulty, and that which pre, iously was a fearful ob-
stacle to encounter, is now a gentle and almost unperceived ascent.
Upon this hill now dwells
THE INCOMPARABLE VILLA,
of which a moderated account is to follow :
THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND
and the garden of Kent have been held as synmiymous terms ;
and it has long since been conceded to this spot, that throughout
Kent, it stands unrivalled. It is first seen nestling amid the
ambrosial grounds, with clumps of trees to vary the scene, stretch-
ing their wide and shadowy arms far across the green award that
encompasses it. The natural beauty of this position it will not
be attempted to describe, because it is fearlessly asserted that it
must be seen or it eannot be appreciated; the beauties that press
on the enraptured sight, strewed by the hands of Art and Nature,
combined over this surface, will hold a place in the memory
which never can be effaced, and ere the visit is half completed, with
common assent it will be responded to by all,
THAT FAIRY LAND
is in view. Of the residence little has yet been said ; although
an outlay of 6,000 L has just been expendeden its completion 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 can 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 GOZEBO 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 taste that has pre-
sided over this great feature in the ab xle. Its form is octagon,
there are five windows, each diversifying the scene; and there aie
twelve angles.
The ingenuity that has conceived this happy effort to give ad.
ditional effect to the magnificent scene is unqtestionable.

IF 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 most;
And silent, we stand in thoughts too deep
For utterance,"
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,
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 demesne—the grounds are very extensive and
luxuriant 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 o, ingenuity, and of variety, that the scene
never tires--at every turn something Hew and beautiful is pre-
sented.
I❑ the centre is
" AN OBSERVATORY 50 FEET IN HEIGEIjr,"
WHICH STANDS 350 FEET HIGHER THAN CANTER.
