JULY 12.

At Chatsworth. The Water willow. The cascade shot out from many spouts.

The fountains[1167]. The water tree[1168]. The smooth floors in the

highest rooms. Atlas, fifteen hands inch and half[1169].

River running through the park. The porticoes on the sides support two

galleries for the first floor.

My friends were not struck with the house. It fell below my ideas of the

furniture. The staircase is in the corner of the house. The hall in the

corner the grandest room, though only a room of passage.

On the ground-floor, only the chapel and breakfast-room, and a small

library; the rest, servants' rooms and offices[1170].

A bad inn.
