Ruined abbeys and castles of Great Britain and Ireland . ghtful fpots with their relics of greafypaper, and of fhrimps and fardine boxes. But the grounds arecarefully kept, and thefe unfightly obje6ts are daily removed,to be only in fine weather daily left again ; a ftrange defecrationthat one would think every lover of the pidlurefque would feelinftindlively aware of.

CalfhotCaftle, at the mouth of the Southampton Water, on theoppofite coaft, is another of them, and both of thefe are Hurftmonceux Caftle.
