LETTER LIII. 



Farnham, Sept. 29, 1813. 



JT ROM Cavan we proceeded two miles through 

 a delightful country, the surface of which was 

 studded by an endless variety of small hills. 

 The pencil of Mr. Gilpin could scarcely im- 

 prove the beautiful rotundity of their forms, 

 accompanied by extensive, noble woods. The 

 fences were extremely good, and well furnished 

 with timber trees. The soil appeared to be 

 very rich, as it was clothed with most luxuriant 

 verdure ; and such were the charms of the sur- 

 rounding country as to leave little for the eye 

 to desire. 



The domain at Farnham is richly ornamented 

 with a profusion of fine timber, and possesses 

 greater diversity of character than is commonly 

 met with. The neatness and apparent comfort 

 of the cottages, at the entrance of the grounds, 

 correspond with the magnificence of the place, 

 and proclaim that its dependants share in the 

 blessings of its affluence. Nothing is more
