34 Gardener's House at Worksop Manor. 



It is to be regretted that the palace is not nearer the gar- 

 den ; however, its effect amidst the vineyards is wonderful, 

 and the views in the various meadows are so exceedingly fine, 

 that it may be called the heaven of Germany. 



I give you my best thanks for your goodness, in recom- 

 mending me to all gardeners in my tour in England, to whom 

 I am sincerely obliged for the kind reception which I every 

 where met with. I remain, Sir, &c.

 benevolence of others, and thus secure comfort from family 

 to family through successive generations. This cottage com- 

 prises a lobby, an entrance-hall, a sitting-room, an office, 

 a kitchen, a wash-house, and three bed-rooms, besides seve- 

 ral other useful appendages. It is placed at the northern 

 extremity of the garden, partly within and partly without 

 the boundary wall, and so situated that the gardener, from 

 his office (Jig. 10. e), will have a command of the prin- 

 cipal entrance. There is also a back approach and yard (p), 

 by which all persons connected with the house can pass unob-
