MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to

PETITION, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, June 23, at
Twelve,

AN UNUSUALLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD LANDED

ESTATE,
combining so many advantages, so varied, and yet all of them so
important, that it is not an easy task to condense them within the
ordinary scope of a public announcement; it shall, however be
attempted.

THE ESTATE IS ALL FREEHOLD ;
THE MANSION AND GROUNDS ARE SO CLOSE
AS TO APPROXIMATE UPON MELKSHAM,
a market town. of considerable repute in the vicinity of Devizes,
Bath, and Chippenham, surrounded for miles

•
BY ENTAILED PROPERTIES Wrll:' CAN HARDLY
EVER COME INTO THE MARKET,
with a railway station within four miles; thus
THE DISTANCE FROM LONDON IS EVERY DAY COM-
PLETED IN LESS THAN FOUR HOURS.
The mansion, called the Grove, is a building of the old school ;
the offices are commensurate; the house is not too large, but it
would be improved by a little good taste in decoration. It is
seated on a beautiful lawn, amid the splendid foliage of full.grown
timber and plantations.

The gardens are abundant, and it possesses
• THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING
IN THE RIVER AVON.

_ .
Its contiguity to Bath and the large intermediate towns, and a
vicinity as highly famed for respectability as any In England;
and the Wilts and Berks Canal intersects the land. It will now
become necessary to recur to a most important feature in this
sale. It includes

THE CELEBRATED MELKSHAM SPA,
which is surrounded by about 100 acres of land, admirably
adapted for, a building specula ion on a large scale, and which in
the hands of an enterprising proprietor, might shortly become a
formidable rival to watering places of a similar character already
established. Also
SEVERAL FREEHOLD DAIRY FARMS,
that seem to stand alone for their superior quality; there is no-
thing in the vicinity that will aspire to a comparison ; the quality
of the soil is proverbially tirst.rate—it is, in fact, unsurpassable.

IT IS EXEMPT FROM LAND TAX,
and the tithes are commuted at a very low rent ; it extends to

THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ACRES,
bounded and occasionally refreshed by the Avon, four miles from

'I'HE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY,

seven miles from Chippenham and Devizes, and about ten from
Bath. THE WOODLAND SCENERY

of the neighbourhood gives a ♦ery imposing feature to the pro-
Pert,/ ; it is altogether an investment free from any alloy, and not
surpassable anywhere. . .

It can be viewed by particulars, which may be had at the Grove
Mansion twenty.ame days before the sale; also at the King's Arms,
Melksham; the best Irins at Ikvizes and Chippenham; White
Hart, Bath ; of Messrs. Bicknell, Roberts, Finch, and Neate, Soli.
citors, Lincoln's Inn-fields; Mr. Mulliner, Surveyor, Old Broad.

very inadequate description of the costly effects which will be
found congregated can only be conveyed through the usual mode
of a public announcement. Mr. Robins will endeavour to state,
as succinctly as possible, the leading features, with the full con-
viction thaCthere will be found, in every department, the utmost

THE COLLECTION OF PICTURES,

OF THE HIGHEST CLASS,
numbers 120. It was formed by

THE CELEBRATED ADMIRAL LORD ANSON,

who had unusual facilities of enriching his gallery with gems from
the continent, and who, aided by a consummate judgment, spared
neither cost nor trouble to accomplish his darling object. The
rarest treasures of the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, and
English Schools, in their pure state, will here be found ; and
where there is so much of excellence it is difficult to select for
particular mention ; still the following well-known and un-
doubted pictures by Guido, of the " Angel appearing unto Peter,"
and " Susannah and the Elders," must have especial notice ; two
landscapes by G. Puussin ; a splendid landscape by Both ; a
landscape by Claude; a :landscape by Domenichino; a landscape,
with cattle, by Cuyp ; a small landscape, with cattle and sheep,
by K. Du Jarttin ; a landscape by I3erghem ; and another by
Gainsborough, with six matchless sea pieces, by Vanclervelde—
one being of large size and singularly fine, and its companion by
13ackhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art. '['here
are also many charming specimens by the following esteemed
masters t
Titian Rembrandt K. Du Jardia Zuccorelli
