to pass over, from want of time and space, simply -with 

 their names : such as the fine and expensive house of 

 Col. Eastwick, on the old Bartram garden ; Woodfield, 

 the tine residence of Mr. Swift ; Devonshire, the seat of 

 Mr. Blight, remarkable for its evergreens ; and Charrvp- 

 lost, the most charming old country residence of Charles 

 P. Fox, Esq[. 



In the vicinity of Princeton, N. J., are some fine resi-

 few fine and effective cedars, to a pretty valley, bordered 

 by masses and clumps of Ehododendrons, Hollies, Azalias, 

 and other rare and valuable shrubs and trees ; the whole
