One of the PILLARS of that ADMIRED VICINITY to the
GREAT METROPOLIS, with EXTENSIVE LAWN,
PLEASURE GROUND, and PADDOCKS, extending to near
FIFTEEN ACRES, all in a RING FENCE, and in most per-

rendered more conducive to comfort, but he essayed in vain; and
the offices, from beginning to end, are in thorough keeping with the
whole. This delightful abode does not belong to the class of modern
buildings, for beside everything the most fastichousanind can suggest,
there is a solidity that has recently been too much out of fashion.
The view from the extended lawn is quite a picture. The gal-
