They are charged only 2 pounds for the season; which is very moderate, even cheaper than the stony pasturage around the villages of New England.

I noticed a flock of Spanish sheep, black-and-white, looking like a drove of Berkshire hogs, and seemingly clothed with bristles instead of wool.

They are kept rather as curiosities than for use.
Chatsworth, with all its treasures and embodiments of wealth, art and genius, with an estate continuous in one direction for about thirty miles, is but one of the establishments of the Duke of Devonshire.

He owns a palace on the Thames that might crown the ambition of a German prince.

He also counts in his possessions old abbeys, baronial halls, parks and towns that once were walled, and still have streets called after their gates.
