I was on a spot that commanded a view of almost the entire island, with distant glimpses of the Solent and the coast beyond it. High hills and sunken vales, rich meadows and corn-fields, smooth pasturing downs, green hedge-rows, copses, groves and forest woodlands, interspersed with elegant country-seats and villages, and enlivened by in- numerable grazing herds, met the eye wherever it chanced to wander. A peal of bells from Caris- brooke church in honour of the marriage of the rector's daught...er, rising in measured and harmo- nious numbers, blended the charms of music with those of vision, and threw over the whole scene an air of mellow and chastened beauty, which time will never efface from my memory.
