The adjacent estate often includes a thou- sand acres ; and these, be it remembered, are kept almost as much for ornament as use. Think of a dwelling that might gratify the pride of a prince, surrounded by seve- ral square miles of wooded park, and shaven lawn, and winding stream, and swelling hill ; and all having been for a hundred, perhaps five hundred years, subjected to every improvement which the highest art could suggest !
There is certainly a union of unrivalled beauty and mag- nificenc...e in the lordly estates of England. We have nothing in Amirica which at all resembles them.
And then there is every grade of imitation of these high examples scattered over the whole country. The greater part of the surface of England belongs to wealthy proprietors, and these have alike the desire and the ability to give an aspect of neatness, finish, and elegance, 200 PETER PARLKT'S not only to their dwellings and the immediate grounds, but to their entire estates. The prevailing standard of taste thus leads to a universal beautifying of the surface of the country.
