PENNSYLVANIA BUILDINGS: a row of stately mansions, with a spacious terrace and sloping lawn in front. The view from this spot is extremely beautiful: -the city with the conspicuous objects of its Cathedral, St. Sidwell's Spire and Northernhay, laying at your feet, - the hills of Whitstone, Cowick and Haldon boldly rising from beyond, the Exe, winding its course through the vale […]. Just such a lovely spot as this is described by the poet.-

"from whose fair brow
The bursting prospect spreads immense around:
And snatch'd o'er hill and dale, and wood and lawn,
And verdant field, and darkening heath between,
And villages embosom'd soft in trees,
And spiry town by surging columns mark'd
Of household smoke, your eye excursive roams
To where the broken landscape by degrees,
Ascending, roughens into rigid hills;
O'er which the distant mountains, like fair clouds
That skirt the blue horizon, dusky rise."
