ADELAIDE CHAPEL, PENLEE POINT. 



We are again indebted to the pencil of Mr. N. M. 

 Condy, Jun., for the sjibjeet of our engraving in the 

 present number; he had the kindness to execute a

 Museum. 



Lord Valletort has been, for some time, engaged in 

 making extensive and important improvements on that 

 part of his estate which lies between Mount Edge- 

 eumbe and Rame Head : a carriage road has been cut 

 along the eastern side of the hill, passing above the 

 towns of Kingsand and Cawsand, and around Penlee 

 Point at some distance below the beacon; on each 

 side of this road, between Cawsand and Penlee, exten-

 thriving condition, and will in a short period afford a 

 fine cover and preserve for game. It is not improbable 

 that future generations may see on this site an extent 

 of woodland which will emulate the groves of Mount 

 Edgecumbe. 



Adelaide Chapel has been built on the bold head- 

 land of Penlee, accessible by a foot path which diver- 

 ges from the carriage road above mentioned ; the little 

 edifice is not intended for social worship, but, from the 

 beauty, extent and interest of the scenery which it

 of the solitary enthusiast of nature.

 visited Plymouth, the Queen spent some time at 

 Mount Edgecumbe House, and frequently visited
