Country Seats in Poland. 



Pulawy, {fig. 76.) the principal seat of the family of Prince 

 Czartoryski, is situated on the Vistula, about 70 English 



76 



miles distant from Warsaw. This park may be compared, in 

 every respect, to the most beautiful specimens of scenery in 

 England and Germany. It is to the indefatigable endeavours 

 and skilful taste of the Princess Isabella Czartoryska that we 

 are indebted for this establishment. She has also published 

 a useful work on landscape gardening. {Ency. of Gard.

Arcadia, a seat of the late Princess Radziwill, is a very 

 remarkable place, about 30 miles from Warsaw. 



Villa Nuova {fig. 77.), near Warsaw, the ancient seat of 

 King John III., now belonging to the family of Potocki, and 

 Belvedere, near Warsaw, are also very handsome.
