Mr. URBAN,

T

Sept. 15. the traveller of cultivated mind, who seeks for objects of curiosity and attention in his native land, there are no spots more attrac tive than those which are distinguished as the abodes of Genius. Of departed genius, he enjoys the recollection; of living, the contemplation. The abodes of the former, as Hagley, the Leasowes, &c. have, in general, been abundantly described; of the latter, many as yet want an historian; and this I believe to be the case with the enchanting residence of Bremhill.

BREMHILL is the parsonage and the abode of a Poet of no small eminence; of one whose correct taste has worked only on the classical models, despising all modern tricks of William Lisle Bowles. It is a village situated on a hill, about two miles North of Calne, in Wilts. The Church, a venerable Gothic structure, with a tower, stands just South-West of the village; and the Rectory, a stone house of the same character, is exactly South of that, on a small terrace, commanding a most beautiful view, with the hill immediately sloping from it towards the South. In this view, the principal objects are the hills and downs between Marlborough and Calne. In front, Oldborough Hill, with the antient camp and the modern WHITE HORSE, executed by Mr. Alsop, now of Calne: somewhat nearer, is the town of Calne, with its fine tower; and to the right, the majestic woods and hills of Bowood, the residence of the Marquis of Lansdown. A garden of about two acres spreads itself immediately before the house, always a beautiful spot, now embellished by the taste, and im mortalized by the verses, of the owner. As it is not of sufficient extent to fatigue either you, or me, or your Readers, let me take you, Mr. Urban, by the hand, and conduct you round the garden. Should you wish to exchange the narrative for, the reality, the Reverend Poet will, I

doubt not, be happy to conduct you in person.

Turning to the left from the house, you go through a rustic arch, which leads to the Eastern view. The objects here are pleasing, but not distinct; and coming to a handsom tree, you naturally turn to contemplate it. Looking to the West from this tree, the whole extent of Bowood jumediately meets the eye. In allusion to which, you find the following elegant inscription affixed:

When in thy sight another's vast domain
Spreads its long line of woods, dost thou
complain?
[thy state
Nay, rather thank the God that plac'd
Above the lowly, but beneath the great :
And still his name with gratitude revere
Who bless'd the Sabbathofthy leisurehere.

Deus nobis hæc otia fecit. W. L. B.

These lines evidently express the feelings of the Poet himself, but may be applied by others according to their circumstances. A few steps further, stands a small, neat obelisk of stone, with no other inscription than ANNO PACIS 1814. W. L. B. P. It might be wished that it were some thing higher; and, if the Peace con tinues, perhaps it may grow. You now enter a plot of decorated garden, not actually divided from the rest of the ground, but distinguished from it by mere interference of art-small flower-borders, trellis-work arbours, a fountain perpetually playing, and a small cold-bath, encompassed by rockwork. Here, over a rural seat, we read the following lines:

Rest, Stranger, in this decorated scene, That hangs its beds of flowers, its slopes

of green:

So from the walks of life the weeds remove, [above. But fix thy better hopes on scener

For the Cold-bath, where the litt rill falls into it, the following veg are destined:
