 Houfe *, and am again come into the great 

 North road, after an excurfion from it,

* Burleigh Houfe is a very antient building, in 

 the form of a quadrangle, very fpacious, fur- 

 rounding a large court, and in the old ftile 

 of building very handibmely ornamented 

 with turrets, carving in {tone, &c. &c. Many 

 of the rooms are but fmall, and therefore I 

 have minuted but few of them diftinctly ; 

 nor have I marked all the paintings as they 

 hang in each room, as it would be difficult to 

 diftinguiih them by peculiar phrafes. Some 

 are little more than clofets. 



The Billiard Room, newly fitted up, 33 by 21, 

 the chimney-piece of white marble poiifned, 

 and a rounding of Siena j it is light and 

 pretty. 



The Chapel, not fmifhed -, 33 by 34 j befides 

 the Anti-room, which is ornamented with 

 very elegant carved wainfeot.
