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 rich
iron master to incline to an expenditure of near £25,000, 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 convey
in adequate terms the surpassing delight that the ascent from
the verdant lawns to the mountain top will inspire the be-
holder. It would be, the work of supererogation to attempt
to draw upon Fancy s sketch ; language is too feeble ; the
creation of the mountain belongs to Nature, and in its com-
pletion is the only solitary instance within the writer's recol-
lection 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 the assurance that the indescribable landscape
which is in store will leave an impression that no time can
obliterate.
THE UMBRAGEOUS WALKS
ARE FIVE MILES IN EXTENT,
amid the woods. and plantations in the ascent to the moun-
tain top ; ascending there is ever and anon breaks and
peeps to vary and diversify the scene, until at length, on the
summit,
THE ELYSIUM OF THIS WORLD
becomes visible on the instant. Mr. Robins would not covet
the feelings of any human being who could view
THIS SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT
without duly appreciating the combined effort 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
views, or the diversity of the scene; there is a never-ending
variety, with an extent almost interminable.

THE SEA.—THE RAND 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, transcendantly beautiful, feathering to
the ground in the greatest profusion ; indeed the creation of
this luxuriant mount from the barren rock, 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
remarked 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
the splendid river to form plantations,its with a terrace walk
and long avenue approach, and
boundary. The offices are fully sufficient ; the kitchen gar-
dens (not alluding to those he ascent towards the clouds)
are prolific and extensive. There are
SUCCESSION HOUSES,
HOT AND
150 feet in length, and the pr.esent show of grapes gives ample
proof of the quality of the vineyard. The climate is here so
congenial, that the heaviest fall of snow in winter does not
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 bounds within five miles. It may be
essential, by way of concluding, to allude to the more profi-
table portion of the property. There is
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ACRES 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 diligence and indus-
try, another hundred acres very speedily, and
A BEAUTIFUL PARK
is easy of accomplishnient, 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 pr_garing. To be had six
weeks before the auction,
at the Waterloo, Liverpool; the
Hotels, Manchester ; the Plough, Cheltenham ; at the Auc-
tion Mart ; and Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden.
