 come clofe up to the village. I obferved 

 here fome very large oak, afh, and birch 

 trees; the trunk of one of the oaks was 

 near fifty feet in girth in the fmalleft 

 part. Some workmen were juft finifh- 

 ing a handfome column, which had a 

 well-ftaircafe up it, and a gallery round 

 it's top. I afcended, in hopes that it 

 would afford me a fine view of the coun- 

 try, but was fomewhat difappointed ; 

 for, though the profpec~l was extenfive, 

 it was by no means beautiful. Not far 

 from this column, is a pool, fuppliecl 

 from the rivulet which runs from Rua- 

 bon : this is, with the affiftance of art, 

 thrown down a fmall rock, and forms 

 not an inelegant cafcade. 



The houfe has but little of elegance 

 about it; it wants uniformity in it's 

 buildings, having been creeled at diffe- 

 rent times, and in different ftiles of ar- 

 chitecture.
