Faults of Dumfries residences

The faults of mansion residences between Manchester and Dumfries are of the same general character as those mentioned (p. 397-399.) as belonging to those between Manchester and London: - the entrance on the wrong side; an attempt at extensive pleasure-ground; too many single trees; coarse edgings; and general want of order and keeping. These evils, we think, have increased rather than diminished, as we have advanced; with the single exception of the edges of walks and roads, which, in a few places before enumerated, are partially what we think they ought to be.
