HARE TOWNSEXD. 25 



stands the stately edifice of Hampton Court 

 Palace, with its parterres, its labyrinths, and 

 its well -trained vines. Crossing a flat, 

 called Ditton Marsh, at Esher, on the left 

 the fine Grecian structure of Claremont 

 meets the eye, then the property of Mr. 

 Ellis, afterwards Lord Seaford ; since the 

 scene of the premature death of the la- 

 mented Princess Charlotte of Wales, and 

 now the residence of Amelie, late Queen of 

 the French. 



Proceeding through the post-town of 

 Cobham, you see Paine's Hill, once the 

 seat of Colonel Luttrel, often mentioned 

 by the celebrated Junius, but then the pro- 

 perty of a member of the same family 

 the Earl of Carhampton. Onward, through 

 Ripley, you pass the parks of Lords 

 King (now Earl Lovelace), and Onslow, 

 the one on the left, the other on the 

 right, till you come to the county town 

 of Guildford, from whence, right and left, 

 you have delightful views of the neigh- 

 bouring Surrey hills.
