XLIX. 



The Table-Land and Cape Town at the Cape of Good Hope. 



The Table-land at a distance appears like one long mountain, with aflat

 the river Nerbudda, opposite the south face of the fortifications. 



LI. 



An English Villa on the Banks of the Nerbudda in Guzerat. 



This Villa, situated in the village of Vezelpoor, near Baroche, is particu- 

 larly described in the Memoirs, with its gardens and accompaniments. 

 The view presents a little scene endeared to the author by many tender 

 recollections; and is introduced into these volumes with a view of o-ivino- 

 the European reader some idea of what is called a Garden House, in those 

 distant regions. 



He that holds fast the golden mean, 

 And lives contentedly between 



The little and the great, 

 Feels not the wants that pinch the poor, 

 Nor plagues that haunt the rich man's door, 

 Imbittering all his state. Horace, by Coirper.
