370. Remarks

The principal feature in this place, while it was in the occupation of Mrs. Lawrence, was its profusion of ornament; and its principal fault, its total want of repose. In the summer season especially, the brilliancy of the flowers, the immense number of statues and vases, and the sparkling waters of the various cascades, produced an effect perfectly dazzling.
