Lancing, the seat of James Lloyd, Esq., is a beautifully situated small place, with the gardens and pleasure-ground kept in excellent order by the gardener, Mr. Kidd. There is a fine specimen of O'rnus europï¾µa; and a large plant of the rose acacia, the branches of which are separately supported by stakes in the star manner, recommended in the Arboretum Britannicum (vol. ii. p. 628.), so that the tree forms a large hemispherical mass, which, when covered with bloom, as it is every summer, must be a truly magnificent object. The grounds at Lancing would be wonderfully improved by thinning out two clumps, and substituting a wire fence for a clipped hedge which surrounds a paddock embraced by the pleasure-ground. The effect of removing the hedge would be to allow the eye to penetrate among the trees and shrubs, which, in consequence of glades of turf among them, would exhibit an indefinite picturesque boundary, adding at once beauty, variety, and apparent extent.
