Golder's Green

IS at present a most quiet and sequefered spot; a few cattle graze here, or the cottagers faunter over the green.

This very simplicity is near town makes it as much deferve attention, perhaps,
now, as when, in King John's reign, by its proximity to the house of the De Brents, it
was most likely a place of great tafe; the river close by, and Brent-street, having
been found to take their name from this family, and the neighbourhood to be poft-
feffed by their friends.

Mr. Ruffel has been very happy in giving much effect to this picture in crayons,
which is rather an unusual subject for that species of painting; but by this effay found
extremely pleafing.

The size of the picture two feet wide, by one foot and a half high, and in Mr.
Ruffel's poſſeffion.
