fants, cockatoos, Mollacca doves, &C. &e. 

 The green-houfe is very fpacious, and 

 behind it a neat agreeable room for drink- 

 ing tea. Advancing from hence down 



the terras, the eye is continually feafted 

 with an exceeding fine and various pro- 

 fpect of hills, dales, winding water, hang- 

 ing woods, temples, and noble fweeps of 

 park ; and at the end of it a moil: delicious 

 view, quite different from any feen elfe- 

 where ; for you look down immediately 

 upon a falling valley, beautifully inter- 

 fered with various fheets of water, fringed 

 with trees : Over this bird's-eye land- 

 fcape, on one fide, rifes a floping hill, 

 fcattered with fingle trees, and on the 

 other, a range of woods: under them in 

 the valley ftands the otlagon temple; to 

 the left the ruitic one upon the iummit of 

 an unplanted hill, admirably contrafted 

 to the others, which are either decorated 

 with clumps, or quite covered with fpread- 

 ing woods. 



Upon the whole, Wentivorth is in every 

 refpect one of the fmeft places in the king- 

 dom: In fome, the houie is the object of 

 curiofity ; in others, a park is admired : 

 The ornamental buildings give a reputa- 

 tion to one, and a general beauty of pro- 

 fpect to another — but all are united here : 

 The hoyfe is one of the grander! in England^
