His Grace is the fourth great builder in his family, and he 

 is now engaged in improving the residence of his ancestors ; 

 preserving all that is ancient, and restoring those parts to 

 their original style of architecture which the false taste of the 

 period, when the last alterations were made, had mutilated. 

 For some years after his accession to the Dukedom, his ample 

 resources were chiefly devoted to draining his extensive estates, 

 making new farm buildings, and in improving, by erections 

 and repairs, the cottages of the labouring classes. These 

 important works are still in progress, and with the outlay at 

 the Castle, give employment to an extensive class of labourers.
