THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS,

7 is about to commence

The season for h . Yearly we
have felt a gratification in noticing the exertions that have
been used by the proprietors of this lovely retreat to pre-
sent to the public, the result of the labours of the recess
—a picture worthy of appreciation ; and yearly have we
bad to commend, and extremely too, the merit displayed,
but on no occasion have we previously felt a lack of lan-

guage sufficiently powerful, as on the present occasion to
express in their fullest worth the encomiums that are due
for the preparations that are now made. We do not re-
gard the exhibitions at the gardens in the same light as
those of other classes ; we place them in a more elevated
sphere, for in them is not only conveyed all the benefits
desirable from public parks, but they offer scope for the
expansion of the mind in botany, ornithology, natural
history, and even mechanics, and however lightly they
may be regarded by some, we feel confident that to many
classes they offer not only health but intelligence ; and
by the various entertainments offered, they embrace amuse-
ment and instruction so pleasingly, that while imbibing
the one, the other is imperceptibly inhaled.
The subject for representation during the season, which
is shortly about to commence, is the Palace and Gardens
of Versailles; with its multiplicity of fountains, the majo-
rity of which will be worked with real water. We have
been favoured, by the kindness of Mr. Atkins, with a cur-
sory view of the progressing works; and the model from
which they are being cons

iructed, and must avow our

surprise at the magnitude of the undertaking. Unlike
previous scenes, this is painted on a combination of reced-
ing and elevated flats, by which distance and perspective is
more beautifully obtained. The site, which is taken from
the lower part of the gardens of Versailles, embraces al-
most every feature of interest. •In the centre is the splen-
did palace, the favourite residence of Louis Quatorze, rich
in its style of architecture, and frowning majestically on
the luxuriant vales beneath. Behind the palace{ extend-

ing to an a

most incredi

nce, is a view
