Athenaeum Cottage; Mrs. Foulstone. This place, which does not occupy much above an acre, was created by the late John Foulstone, Esq., architect, who has displayed in it very great skill and taste in landscape-gardening, no less than in his own art. The ground is a narrow strip by the road-side, extending from the bottom to the top of a hill. Across the bottom runs the stream of water which supplies Plymouth. The house is placed half-way up the hill; the kitchen-garden occupies the upper part of the strip, and the pleasure-ground the lower; the view from the drawingroom terminating in a cascade formed by the stream. The skill of the artist is chiefly displayed in managing the side scenes, so as to vary the boundary of the narrow glade of turf which leads the eye down the slope to the cascade. This is done with so much taste and judgement, that, if we can, we shall on some future occasion illustrate it by a ground plan. Unfortunately, Mrs. Foulstone was not at home,
