THE MAGNIFICENT MANSION OF WORKSOP
IN ONE LOT. ,
AfR. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by instructions
.LYI. from His Grace the Duke of NEWCASTL{to
SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION' Oct at th 9, Atiction
Mart, London, on TUESDAY the 6th of ber, • Twelve,
and IN ONE LOT,
THE SPLENDID MANSION OF 'WI, KSOP,
for many a long year the distinguished abo. f
THE DUKE OF NORFOLK'S FAM ri IN NOT-
TINGHAMSHIRE.
It is known throughout the globe as a
FINISHED SPECIMEN OF THE CORINTHIAN
ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE,
and one that fears not to compete with ally contemporary-
throughout the United Kingdom ; this noble edifice stands
alone for the solidity of its structure and the chasteness of
its design. It was erected by James Paine, the talented ar-
chitect, in 1765 ; he achieved his great fame by the creation
of Worksop. The drawing which will accompany the printed
particulars of sale will give some faint idea of the
SPLENDOUR AND IMPOSING CHARACTER OF
THIS REGAL HABITATION,
which has long been the

DISTINGUI§fNdFEATURE OF THE COUNTY,
and it is affirmed most positively that it can only be tho-
roughly appreciated by a personal survey. The original cost
exceeded

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS,
and every part of it is in perfect condition. It may be worth
while to say a word " en passant," to explain why the Noble
Duke has directed the demolition of Worksop. Clumber,
the
rancient and splendid seat of his Grace the Noble Duke,
erifh;.• —:1-- ••••

main approaching
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS
to the princely territory ..he before possessed, yet it will not
he imagined his Grace 'could occupy two such important
abodes, and so closely allied to each other at the same time ;
the consequence is, Mr. Robini has been commanded to raze
it to the ground by means of a positive sale of
THE WHOLE IN ONE LOT;
thus the capitalist, the great public builders, noblemen, and
persons of wealth, intending to build, will possess such an
oppottunity as never preceded it, or ever will occur again.
The next point to which allusion must be made is one of
some difficulty. The utter impossibility to compress within
the limit of an ordinary advertisement the immense variety
of splendour, solidity, and value, which will be found con-
gregated at Worksop Manor House. The reader will accept
the following as an outline only :
THE PRINCIPAL FRONT IS ERECTED IN STEET-
LEY STONE ; IT EXTENDS 318 FEET IN LENGTH,
AND IS ENRICHED BY SIX CORINTHIAN CO-
LUMNS UPON A RUSTICATED BASEMENT ;
THE CENTRE PEDIMENT IS HIGHLY ENRICH-
ED BY FIGURES IN ALTO RELIEVO. IT PRE-
SENTS ALTOGETHER A SUPERB ARCHITEC-
TURAL STRUCTURE,
with one of

" THE MOST IMPOSING FRONTS IN EUROPE."
There are three very fine figures representing
VIRTUE, PEACE, AND PLENTY,
supported by six Corinthian columns ; upon the balustrade
parapet Are_--

THIRTY ELEGANT SCULPTURED VASES;
the floors of

THE GRAND STAIRCASE AND ENTRANCE HALL
are vein and dove marble, with black'and gold marble plinth ;
the staircase itself is of stone of the most valuable descrip-
tion, six feet wide, with two landings, 25 feet 8 inches by 6
feet 6 inches, with black and gold marble plinth, gilt wrought
iron balusters and pilasters, mahogany hand rail, &c. The
interior fittings consist of

ONE HUNDRED FOLDING MAHOGANY DOORS,
moulded, panelled, and richly carved on both sides, hung
with massive ornamental brass hinges, mortice locks, and
brass double gilt furniture, fitted with framed linings, sof-
fits, and architraves en suite. About one hundred and twenty
deal six-panel doors, moulded on both sides with linings,
architraves, &c., complete. Upwards of ,
TWO HUNDRED PLATE-GLASS WINDOWS,WITH
OAK SASHES AND FRAMES,
fitted with box shutters, carved mouldings and architraves
to correspond.

THE FLOORS ARE ALL OF ENGLISH OAK, AND
EXCEED THIRTY THOUSAND FEET,
with beams, joists, and sleepers, the whole in
THE FINEST STATE OF PRESERVATION.
FORTY CHIMNEY PIECES,

exceedingly magnificent and very rare, sculptured most
beautifully. It would require more than
TEN THOUSAND POUNDS

to replace them. They include statuary, Sicilian, Jasper.
Italian, Flemish, Devonshire, dove, and vein marbles, the
principal with hearth-stones to match—splendid polished
steel and other register stoves.

THE CARVINGS, ENRICHMENTS, MOULDINGS,
' AND PLINTHS,
. . .

in the various rooms, are beautifully finished and very valu-
able. Several

lONIC COLUMNS AND ENTABLATURES,
gold mouldings, bells, spring blinds, &c.
THE ROOF COST NEAR £30,000.
It presents a

" LITTLE FOREST OF TIMBER."
covered throughout with the green Westmoreland slate.
The quantity of lead and stone offers a rare instance of sub-
stantiality combined with good taste and judgment. Also
about ten thousand feet of Mansfield and Steetley Stone
Floors, six thousand feet of flag paving, several stone stair-
cases, all the force pumps, brass ventilators ; it is calculated
there are nearly
___ _

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY TONS OF LEAD.
A CANAL RUNS THROUGH THE•ESTATE, FROM
WHENCE THERE IS CONVEYANCE TO ALL
PARTS OF THE KINGDOM.

And a Railway may be laid for £3OO or £4OO from the Man-
