It is of the finest kind of arabesque work done in stone that much resembles the Caen.

This prevention barred me from even a distant view of the once famous residence of Lord Byron, as it could not be seen from the public road.
Within about three miles of Mansfield, I came to a turnpike gate,--a neat, cozy, comfortable cottage, got up in the Gothic order.

I stopped to rest a moment, and noticing the good woman setting her tea-table, I invited myself to a seat at it, on the inn basis, and had a pleasant meal and chat with her and an under-gamekeeper of the Duke of Portland, who had come in a little before me.

The stories he told me about the extent of the Duke's possessions were marvellous, more especially in reference to his game preserves.

I should think there must be a larger number of hares, rabbits and partridges on his estate than in the whole of New England.
