On a tour a few days back through part of the Isle of
Wight, I was particularly struck with the neatness of
the cottage, and cleanliness of their inmates. Passing
through Ryde, and on to Newport, our route lay from
thence to Shanklin, along the Undercliff, and on to
Niton and Blackgang Chine, these places being best
adapted for the pencil, our object being to sketch the
scenery of these romantic places. The best mode of
doing so unquestionably is to travel on foot ; accord-
ingly from Newport, the head-quarters of most tra.
velltrs, we set off. Our way lay tiller St. George's
Down; where ee saw a concourse of persons, male and
female, moving backwards and forwards in masses.—
The singularity of these movements exciting our curio-
sity, we inquired the cause, and were told they were a
religious sect just sprung up, called Bryanites, after
their founder, no doubt. They have adopted a dress
something similar to the Methodists or Quakers, and in
some measure imitate the former in their Wee meetings
and feasts.
At the little village of Areton, in the churels4brd,
lies Mary somebody- I forget her nstme-.--better kabwn
as the " Dairy-mins Daughter,' who died at the age
of about 32 ; she is honoured with a long inscription on
her tomb-stone, for her great piety. This circumstance
has given a celebrity to this little village Which it Other-
wise would not have obtained; and frequent pilgri-
mages are made by the pious and profane as the subject
strikes them. Here you will see written in black lead,
the names of Thomas Jackson and Mary Ann Passmore,
of Staines, with the date prefixed, as well as many others,
that time has more than half obliterated, but who, like
them, were far from wishing their names should rest
concealed.
From Areton you proceed!' through a pleasant country
to Shanklin, where, at the Crab and Lobster, you will
do well to secure your bed—a convenience, by-the-bye,
not always to be had here—we were lucky, and got
tolerably good fate. The Chine, of course, is the chief'
attraction, although the village is rural and pretty.
At the mouth of the Chine, and on the sea beach, is
a solitary hut belonging to a fisherman, he also is the
owner of a bathing machine, the only one at this place,
and with his Occupation and the liberty the proprietor
has given him to cut meandering walks and roral seats
in the Chine, the showing of which chiefly devolves
upon his family, he no doubt makes a good thing of it.
Tills chasm or chine is caused by the washing of the
waters from the neighbouring hills, and must 'have
been the work of ages, •as the oldest persons now
living can see but little alteration during their lifetime.
It is the widest and most stupendous in height at the
mouth opening to the sea, and retiring back for nearly
a quarter of a mile in serpentine windings, each side
being thickly clothed with brush wood, briars, or ver-
dure, presents you with a new scene at every turning,
always rich, wild, and variegated. From Shanklin you
proceed to Lucknor Cove and Point, where at some
period or other, there appears to have been an immense
fall of chi Upper Cliff, which now covers SO or 40 acres
of ground midway between the highest cliff and the sea,
huge masses of rock thrown promiscuously in every
form, and partially covered with briars and grey lichen,
gives them an appearance of savage wildness but pleas-
ing to a painter's eye. Here the Artist, by varying his
position, may multiply the views at will. The sea ii
making rapid inroads on this part of the Island, parti-
c ilarly at Shanklin, and a little to the East, huge masses
yearly falling; the Cliff almost perpendicular, and the
sea at high water washing the base. From Lucknor
Point you pass on to Bonchurch, where cliff, hill, dale,
wood and water, all combine to render the landscape
all that a painter could wish. It is here also the beau-
tiful seats of the Nobility and Gentry commence on this
part of the coast. One, now building for some Lady,
whose name we did not learn, is highly creditable to
her taste in the selection of the spot, and to the Archi-
tect for the simplicity and neatness of the style. The
Steeple Cliff, one of the curiosities of this place, is a
n aural pediment, surmounted by a large flag staff.
From Bence to Nit on I believe is called Undercliff, the
upper part of which often threatens the traveller with
nothing short of annihilation. Immense masses fall
yearly from these upper cliffs, but being near half a
mile from the sea, they form a sort of broken plain:
' Lord Yarborough, whO is considered the King of the
Island, has here a beautiful aquatic seat—not Appolder-
combe, formerly belonging to Sir Richard Worsley,
and purchased of the family by his Lordship. This
place, Appuldercombe, is considered the most eaten-
sive and consequential in the whole Island. Near
here, also, is Mirables, a beautiful seat belonging to
Mrs. Arnold, and many other villas, the grounds of
which, clothed with the richest and Most variegated
foliage, skirt the water's edge. 'The cliffs produce a
distinct echo, which we thought singular, but agreed
to leave the cause to the philosopher. Further on
you pass the little church of St. Laurence, supposed
to be the smallest in England, only fourteen feet by six-
teen; it happened to be Sunday, and Divine Savice
was performing; the labouring peasants were lying
down outside by the windows, which were open, for the
want of accommodation within, no doubt. Proceeding
onward you reach Niton, the extremity of the island
opposite France. Here, commanding a fine view, stands
the Hotel,Where you at v suet to get good accommodation.
The vill ige and church are about half a mile inland.
From Niton you proceed to Sand Rock Spring, the
waters of which are said to be tar"more efficacious than
those of Cheltenham or Clifton for persons who have
suffered from long residence in tropical or hot climates.
The proprietor, a Mr. Waterworth, a surgeon of New-
port, has built a comfortable cottage, for the accommo-
dation of persons wishing to take the water pure from
the well. A little onward you reach Blackgang Chine.
Here is a stupendous chasm, opening its mouth as if to
swallow the sea, of greater magnitude by far than
Shanklin, but bleak and barren, not a bush or a blade of
grass adorns its sides, but here and there a rabbit running
along the almost perpendicular rocks, adds considerably
to the wildness sf the scene. Immediately in the rear
of this Chine is St. Catherine's bill, the highest part or
.he island, and ficint whence you have a view across to
!East and West Cusses, the bhopping in the Solent and
'Medina rivers. Poi tsdown and other's of the Hampshiye
Lhaits of hills. Oa casting our eye from this'eminence
