at the Lion Hotel, Shrewsbury; the Inns at Llangollen,

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_

Gothic style, the Windows are of ancient painted glass "_shedding their
dim religious light_."
THE SALOON OF THE MINERVAS

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

in extent but
EVERYTHING IN GRACE AND BEAUTY,
United with a great variety of foliage. Upon the Freehold is a
considerable quantity of valuable Timber which overhangs
A DEEP AND HOLLOW GLEN;
In its entangled bottom, a frothing brook leaps and clamours o'er the
rough stones in its channel towards
THE VALE OF LLANGOLLEN.
To speak of the latter would be quite superfluous, few, if any, are
unacquainted with the wildnes
