Open fea; and to the eaft, as far as Spithead, 

 where every motion of the fhips, which happen 

 to be flationed there, may be obferved. His 

 lawn has lately been new-modelled, and is now 

 only in a ftate of improvement ; fo that it's 

 eiFed: cannot yet be feen. 



At Pilewell Mr. Robbins's views towards 

 the fea, are nearly the fame as thofe from 

 D'Oyly-parki only feen from a lower ftand. 

 Mr. Robbins's lawn is a very extenfive one. 

 It is flat indeed; but fo much quiet fpace 

 forms a contrail with the bufy fcene of navi- 

 gation, which is fpread beyond it. Still how- 

 ever thefe views are of the amufing kind. I 

 fhould advife the piBiirefqiie eye therefore to 

 feek the fcenery of the ifland, as he will 

 find it more broken, in many parts of the 

 walk, which circles the lawn. The beft view 

 of the whole together is from the drej/ing-room 

 windows. 



About a mile and a half from Baddefly 

 we pafs the edge of a piece of frefh- water, 

 above three miles in circumference, known 

 by the name of Souley-pond. In an inland- 

 country it would have been thought a con- 

 fiderable lake : but it's clofe neighbourhood 



to.
