The Park ofNeuillyis in a dull flat situation on the Seine. 

 There is a small spot near the house, which bears consider- 

 able resemblance to an English pleasure-ground ; but the 

 rest of the place is very deficient in picturesque interest. 

 There is, however, an arboretum, containing a considerable 

 collection of rare trees and shrubs ; and some hot-houses, 

 into which the industry of the very skilful gardener has col- 

 lected a number of stove plants. 



The Park of Marshal Massena, at Ruelle, formerly belonged 

 to the Due de Richelieu, and is said to remain pretty much 

 in the state in Which it was when occupied by that minister.
