MR. SCOTT’S, AT AMWELL. 
Mr. Scorr was a member of the Society of Friends, a man of considerable wealth, 
and of refined taste and feeling as a poet. His house is a handsome mansion on tlie 
south of Ware, surrounded by grounds disposed in the most picturesque manner, orna- 
mented with a beautiful grotto, and with a study on an eminence, which was his 
fayourite retreat. He was, in his neighbourhood, another man of Ross, worshipped by 
the poor, and beloved by all who knew him. The sentiments in his highly-finished 
poetry accord with his practice ; and, from their benevolent spirit, deserve to be always 
popular. His widow is living in 1823, and keeps up the house and park in the state in 
which they were left by the poet.
