The State-rooms are commodious and handsome, although there is nothing very superb or grand in the decorations or furniture.
"The entrance to these rooms is by a stair-case which opens into the principal court, which you now see.

At the top of the stair-case are two rooms; one on the left, called the Queen's, and the other the King's Guard-room, leading to the State-apartments.

Immediately beyond the King's Guard-room is the Presence-chamber, which contains a canopy, and is hung with tapestry; and which is now used as a passage to the principal rooms.
"There is a suite of five rooms opening into each other successively, fronting the Park.

The Presence-chamber opens into the centre room, which is denominated the Privy-chamber, in which is a canopy of flowered-crimson velvet, generally made use of for the King to receive the Quakers.
"On the right are two drawing-rooms, one within the other.

At the upper end of the further one, is a throne with a splendid canopy, on which the Kings have been accustomed to receive certain addresses.
