On 17th May, 1823, the Literary Chronicle and Weekly Review commented on the stately homes of\u00a0Great Britain:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>“The attachment to the seats of their ancestors and the cultivation of their patrimonial residences, which have always distinguished our nobility and opulent gentry, are pleasing, and we may add, honourable traits in our national character: nor is there any country more deserving of inspiring such an attachment than our own, since its cultivated scenery possesses charms peculiar to itself, and a certain freshness and amenity, the want of which is felt on the plains of Italy and France.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
