PHILO.

[1] Here is a stump of wood which denotes the grave of Major

Labelliere, a deranged officer of the Marines, who, by his own

request was buried on this spot, with his head downwards; it

being a constant assertion with him, "that the world was turned

topsy-turvy, and, therefore, at the end he should be right."

From this point may be seen _Leith Hill_, with an old prospect

tower, within which are interred the remains of another

eccentric gentleman who died in the neighbourhood. In the road

from Dorking thence is _Wotton_, the family seat of the Evelyns.
