THAT FAIRY LAND

is in view. Of the residence little has yet been said (although an
outlay of 6,0001. 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 that 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
" 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.
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
Far utterance,"
it produces an ensemble such as the writer of this imperfectsketch
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 EIs:GLIM-1 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 of ingenuity, and of variety, that the scene
never tires—at every turn something new and beautiful is pre-
sented.
In the centre is
" AN OBSERVATORY 50 FEET IN HEIGHT,"
WHICH STANDS 350 FEET HIGHER THAN
CANTERBURY.
From this spot Dover and Gravesend are both brought within view,
and the coast of France seen without difficulty.
THE TERRACE WALK, THAT
RUNS PARALLEL WITH THE LONDON-ROAD,
is adorned by American shrubs and flowering plants without number;
and to perfect this scene there are rising in majestic grandeur in
the rear

(of which this property includes four acres), to protect the villa
from the wintry winds—the Kitchen Gardens are well planned,
and in excellent taste, are to be seen about the
THE SPLENDID WOODS OF BLEAN
of fruit and vegetables most abundant.
DisperisedlY placed,
and the supply
grounds everything that ingenuity and art combined could effect.
In one spot is a grotto. Contiguous to it

perpetual telegraph and windmill,
which never cease their pleasing
vocation. It has consumed 700
feet of iron pipe to accomplish this.

THE EDDYSTO 1.7 E LIGHT.IIOUSE
adorns the centre of the waters, in which exist myriads of gold and
silver fish. Ia short, neither words nor painting can do it adequate
justice: we know of nothing comparable with the scene, so as to
give it that vivid colouring by which those who have not had
ovular demonstration, may recognise its wild phenomena. And
how the composer feels that he must compassionate with Ms
readers, and arrive at a conclusion.
THE DEMESNE AROUND IT IS 14 ACRES,

including the rich paddocks. The offices within and without are
corresponding, and the whole in complete apple-pie order, It is
four miles from Canterbury; and the society everywhere is pro_
verbial for its being prone to good fellowship, with lots of shwtiug,
hunting, and fishing without much trouble.

Printed Particulars and Plans to be had, fourteen nays before the
sale, at the Lodge; at Mr. Samuel Wright's famoNs hotel at Can-
terbury ; the Crown, Rochester ; the Ship, Dower ; Mr. Wilkin-
son, solicitor, Canterbury; the Auction Mart and, at Mr. George
itobins'a London.
