and most especially adapted to suit the views of the rich mer-
chant of this or any vicinity. There is so much to admire,
with the capability still to improve, that the fair lady of the
proprietor may oppose her present unequivocal taste to that
of bygone days. This observation applies
ONLY TO THEINTERIOR OF THE CONVENIENT
EDIFICE,

which will be noticed in due time ; for as it regards th•
grounds that encompass it, it would approach sacrilege t.
attempt to remodel or improve them.
THE CASTLE HEAD ESTATE

takes its name from
THE FAR-FAMED MOUNT
which rises majestically towards the clouds, to a fearful
height. In the olden times tradition gives account of its
being

ONE OF THE ANCIENT ROMAN STATIONS.
It was left to Mr. Wilkinson, the celebrated and very rick
iron master to incline to an expenditure of near £23,000, and
the bridge and embankment cost upwards of £20,000 more
of his immense wealth in creating that which has
NO PARALLEL THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
Its renown is imperishable, and this observation is made ad-
visedly; but the reader is invited to seek ocular demonstra-
tion, for it is quite impossible to find language that will con-
vey in adequate terms the surpassing delight that the ascent
from the verdant lawns to the mountain top will inspire the
beholder. It would be the work of supererogation to at-
tempt to draw upon Fancy's sketch : language is toe feeble ;
the creation of the mountain belongs to Nature, and in its
completion is the only solitary instance within the writer's
recollection where nature has reluctantly succumbed to art;
but the fact is here proclaimed, and the triumph is perfect;
to describe it in suitable language will not be attempted. The
reader is earnestly invited to resort and pay it an immediate
visit, with an assurance that the undescribable landscape
which is in store will leave an impression that no time cais
obliterate.

THE UMBRAGEOUS WALKS
ARE FIVE MILES IN EXTENT,

amid the woods and plantations in the ascent to the motuatais
top ; in ascending there is ever and anon breaks and peeps
to vary and diversify the scone until at leugth, on the summit
THE ELYSIUM OF THIS WORLD

becomes visible on the instant. Mr. Robins would net corst
the feelings of any human being who COW view

THIS SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT

without duly appreciating the combined efibrt of an exceed.
ingly long purse, with an infinity of good taste to put it in
motion. It would be idle to point out the immensity of the
♦iews, or the diversity of the scene; there is a never-ending
variety, with an extent almost interminable.

THE-SEA—THE RAPID RIVER—THE RICH VALE,
AND THE MOUNTAIN TOPS,
seem all contending for the ascendancy. It must be remarked
that on the extreme height of this renowned mount are two
gardens of considerable extent, adorned by flowering shrubs
and American plants, transcendently beautiful, feathering to
the ground in the greatest profusion; indeed the creation of
this luxuriant mount from a barren reek, shows how little of
impossibility there exists in this world, if

THE MARCH OF THE MIND IS WELL APPLIED.
Its extent is 500 feet from the level of the sea beneath it. It
is here that

THE LOVER'S LEAP MAY BE PERPETRATED
with success. The spot is prepared, but the splendid scenery
that on the instant becomes visible, has interposed its magic
spell, and to the present period left no historical record
wherewith to illumine the reader of so fearful an attempt. It
is now time to return to the edifice, of which it has been re-
marked that there is great room of an outlay in ornamental
decoration. The house has abundant accommodations for a
family of some pretensions. It is seen from the high-road,
nestling amid the luxurious plantations, with a terrace walk
and long avenue approach, and the splendid river to form Its
boundary. The offices are fully sufficient ; the kitchen gar.
dens (not alluding to those on the ascent towards the clouds)
are prolific and extensive. There are
HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES,
150 feet in length, and the present show of grapes gives ample
proof of the quality of the vineyard. The climate is hers so
congenial, that the heaviest fall of snow in winter does nal
lie on the ground more than three or four days, when at a
short distance it remains for weeks. There is capital fishing
in the River Winster, which is particularly noted for its
trout, and a pack of fox hounds within five miles. It may
be essential, by way of concluding, to allude to the more
profitable portion of the property. There is
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ARES OF LAND,
entirely within a ring-fence, in fine healthy condition. There
is beside

SEVENTY ACRES OF MARSH LAND,
RECENTLY SECURED FROM THE SEA,
with a brilliant prospect of obtaining, by diligenoe and inks-
try, another hundred acres very speedily, and
A BEAUTIFUL PARK

is easy of accomplishment, and the lands may be irrigated.
Castle Head is situate in Westmoreland and Lancashire, 10
miles from Lancaster, and four and a half from Milnthorpe
across the sands; 12 from Kendal, 13 from Ulverstone, and
5 from Windermere Lake ; and it is important to know that
although in days of yore the distance became a slight impedi-
ment, it is now within
THIRTEEN HOURS' RIDE TO LONDON.

Particulars, with plans, are preparing. To be had sit
weeks before the auction, at the Waterloo, Liverpool ; the
Hotels, Manchester; the Plough, Cheltenham ; at the Auc-
tion Mart ; and Mr. George Robin's Offices, London.
