PARTICULARS, &c.
Mr. ROBINS is not a little proud that it hath been his good fortune to
be selected by the Executors of the Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss
Ponsonby to direct the sale of their far-famed Domicile. He feels that
an apology will be due to all those who are familiar with its beauties
and peculiarities, for the very imperfect recital which follows, while
those who are yet to be gratified with the sight of it, may imagine he
has drawn some little upon "Fancy's sketch." There is nothing of
pretension in its outward form, it indicates but moderately the comfort
that presides within, inasmuch as will be found congregated all the
_agremens_ pertaining to more consequential habitations. Considerable
tact is conspicuous everywhere; but none more unequivocally displayed

than in the lightsome little Dining Room, contrasted with the gloomy,
yet superior grace of the Library, into which it opens. This room is
fitted up in the Gothic style, the Windows are of ancient painted glass
"_shedding their dim religious light_."
THE SALOON OF THE MINERVAS
Is the repository of the choice Library. The auxiliary Offices are very
commensurate, the grounds are disposed in such good order as is the
natural consequence of pure taste, the Kitchen Garden is neatness itself,
and the Fruit trees are of the rarest and finest sort, and luxuriant in their
produce. Many and shaded
GRAVEL WALKS ENCIRCLE THIS ELYSIUM,
