" But, in my opinion, there is more ftill to be faid for us Are you fure that a box by the fide of a dufly road, is lefs calculated for enjoyment, than a palace fituated in a vaft park ? My neighbour who poflefles fuch a palace, like you, wonders at my bad tafte, which he con- tinually abufes, for fear I mould fufpect that he receives pleafure, when fitting in my window, which he does for hours together (notwithftanding the duft) in- wardly envying my happinefs that I can fee the world in motio...n. " I have observed, that the poffefibrs of great houfes have a marvellous affec- tion to a little parlour ! Is it that the mind fills a fmall fpace without effort, and finds the whole within the fcope of enjoyment ; while in a large one, it feems to be making vain attempts to approach what is out of its reach ? We fancy a little parlour to come nearer, and be, as it were, part of ourfelves ; while a great room feems made for more than one, and to belong not only to us, but to others. Whether this reafoning be juft or not, it is certain that you feldom are fliewn a great houfe, but you are informed that Ibme fmall room you were pafling unno- ticed, is the place where the owner re- fides the grand fuite of apartments is for Grangers.
