The only ornament which distinguishes it from the interior of an old castellated mansion^ is a pretty good collection of portraits of some Scottish nobles, and I know not how many beauties illustrated by the voUages amourt of Charles II. Some are from the pencil of Vandyke, and cited among his best productions; others belong to Mytens, his predecessor in reputation ; or to Ram* lay, one of his most able rivals.
