RICHARDSON’S HOUSE, AT PARSON’S GREEN. 
While in the zenith of his popularity, and towards the close of his life, Mr. Samuel 
Richardson resided in the house above-represented, at Parson’s Green. It stood at 
the south west corner, facing the road to London, and a few years since was pulled 
down. The admirers of Grandison and Clarissa, will view with interest this relic of an 
author whose admirers are always enthusiasts. Hence he dated many of his published 
Letters, and here he entertained the most intellectual society of his time. Nothing- cart 
be more pleasant and cheerful than the site of the house—a pleasant green—handsome 
country houses, and a very cheerful road, were always present from its windows— 
while the gardens behind were open and spacious.
