to pass over, from want of time and space, simply with 
their names : such as the tine 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 Chamjp- 
lost , the most charming old country residence of Charles 
P. Fox, Esq. 
In the vicinity of Princeton, P. J., are some tine resi- 
dences. The most interesting one to us is Woodlawn , 
belonging to Pi chard S. Field, Esq, and which we have 
alluded to so often in course of this supplement, that 
we have no right, perhaps, to say anything more. The

which is cultivated for agricultural purposes, with very 
remunerating success. The mansion, without any archi- 
tectural pretension, is one of great comfort and extent, 
commanding varied views over a tine rolling country to 
the city, and adjacent Chesapeake ; a well designed walk 
leads from the lawn, shaded by majestic oaks, with a 
few tine and effective cedars, to a pretty valley, bordered 
by masses and clumps of Bhododendrons, Hollies, Azalias, 
and other rare and valuable shrubs and trees ; the whole 
terminating in a brilliant French parterre, surmounted 
on a terrace by an extensive green-house, in the rear of 
which, a gardener’s house, a double curvilinear vinery,
