Brief von Horace Walpole aus Strawberry Hill an Horace Mann. (2 Aug.)
Er schreibt : "I wish you could see the villas and seats here ! The country wears a new face ; every body is improving their places, and as they don't fortify their plantations with entrenchments of walls ande high hedges, one has the benefit of them even in passing by. The dispersed buildings, I mean, temples, bridges, etc. are generally Gothic of Chinese and give a shimsical air of novelty that is very pleasing."
