It is a rare chance for any one of means desiring a milder climate, or suitable for an institution. Its river-front, its hawthorn tree, its ivy, its holly, its delicate mimosa, its many magnolias, its hedges and rustic seats, its limpid spring under a spreading beech, and its sweet and unexpected surprises, its varied chorus of sweet singers, including the mocking-bird, render it a gem of beauty – truly one of the beautiful homes of the world.
