ROBERT DENISON, ESQ.

to SILL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction
Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 30th of July, at Twelve
o' Clock,
A SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE,
and certainly one of
THE MOST DISTINGUISHED THROUGHOUT
THE EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.
It is not a little fortunate and delightful reminiscence for the
individual who has to compose this feeble effort that the
FAME OF KILNWICK PERCY
stands not in need of artificial aid to pourtray its multifarious
beauties. It has acquired a renown that would be impaired
by any attempt that Mr. Robins could perpetrate in an en-
deavour to eulogise it;. and therefore he feels relieved from
a necessity to go, very much into detail, and will confine
himself to the higher points and advantages,,tOme of which
would perchance escape observation. It Is beyond doubt
one of the
MOST INFLUENTIAL ESTATES iN THE COUNTY ;
but it may be as well to demonstrate the fact by a few con-
cise remarks : it includes
THE WHOLE TOWNSHIP OF KILNWICK PERCY,
which contains SIXTEEN HUNDRED ACRES
of exceedingly good land, the whole of which is convertible ;
and it is not a little refreshing at this moment to witness the
effect which has been produced by extraordinary good farm-
ing ; the crops speak intelligibly, and leave competition at a
great distance ; it is seen on the instant that the hand and
head of an agricultural artiste has been busily and success-
fully employed, and displays a proud confirmation of what
may be accomplished by talent and capital. It may be re-
marked as a fact of rare occurrence, that throughout the de-
mesne there is not a single acre of land that has not passed
the ordeal of Mr. Denison's penetrating eye and judgment.
It has been
.drained throughout, and the whole at this
moment presents the most refreshing contrast to any con-
temporary property, and shows the satisfactory result of an
estate so perfect throughout as not to have left (even Capa-
bility Brown, had he been alive) the opportunity to indulge
in his favourite passion of improvement,
THE MANSION HOUSM
is every thing that can be required ; it is seen nestling under
the wings and fostering care of the surrounding lofty hills by
which it is delightfully screened from the importunity of win-
try winds;
THE SPLENDID AMPHITHEATRE AND DIVERSI:.

FIED VIEWS
must be seen to be appreciated. The steep ascent is clothed
in verdure to the summit.
THE WOODLAND SCENERY, of SURPASSING
BEAUTY,
is diversified by lofty projecting hills and fertile dells. Lux-
uriant banks pleading in their beauteous form at the foot of
the hanging woods, perpetual ivy which entwines and adorns
the countless thousands of forest trees, vistas formed by
nature's hand, the hermitage, the fishing ponds, a valley
teeming in wild luxuriance, the ripling of the waters and
pelucid stream gently gliding through the groves, the Ameri-
can plants fresh and green in little myriads, divesting the
winter months of anything like ennui or discomfort, com-
plete a coup d'ceil that seem to approach Elysium, and pro-
duce an effect that it would be idle to attempt to describe
through this imperfect sketch—
" There's nothing left to Fancy's guess,
You see that all is loveliness."
Claude would have delighted to exert his pencil in such a
cause, and Scotia's bard would have been well employed in
giving it effect.
