THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 327 
Thomas Abney, a worthy citizen residing in Stoke Newington, 
invited him to partake of the quiet and comfort of his home, and 
Isaac Watts became as ore of the family, and so continued for 
thirty-six years, ending his days in this agreeable retreat. Here 
he performed those literary labours that have made his name 
OLD MULBERRY TREF, FORMERLY IN DR, DENNY'S GARDEN, STOKE NEWINGTON, 
renowned throughout the world, and in recognition of which the 
universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen bestowed upon him the 
degree of Doctor in Divinity. It is not surprising, therefore, that 
Sir Thomas Abney’s Park became, in an especial manner, associated 
with Dr. Watts’s meditations and labours. The park, indeed, is 
November.
