Employed in
different observations. Saw Westminster Abbey was struck with Awe on entering
it. The Dome of St. Pauls gives a Wonderful Idea of the power of the Celebrated
Artist, Sir Christopher Wren, It's whole Appearance and Magnitude exceeding any
Idea I could form of it. Vaux-Hall has a surprising effect. The number of
Lights disposed to advantage is very great. You pay one Shilling entrance but
if you eat or Drink, they Charge most extravagantly for it. Sir Sampson
Gideon's place, Belvedere, is very pretty the view of the Thames from it is
fine and in some places very extensive Sir Henry Bank's at Wimbledon, is
likewise finely improved, and many Elegant views from it. Lord Despencer
borders on him and gives him several handsome Water Views.
