dreamed of rural scenery. It is situated in a dell just at the 

 borders of the park, separated only by plantations of trees, 

 and gently, though in varied undulations, sloping towards it,

The want of a system of heating horticultural buildings, 

 combining economy and simplicity, and, at the same time, 

 affording a heat the most congenial to vegetation in all its 

 stages, was an important consideration long felt by the hor- 

 ticultural world. It is unnecessary, at the present day, to
