BROXBOURN, a small but pleasant village near Hoddesdon, in
Hertfordshire, situated on a rising ground, with pleasant meadows down
to the river Lee.
BROXBOURNBURY, the seat of the Lord Monson, situated by the above
village of Broxbourn. The house is a large Gothic structure in the
midst of the park, which has lately been planted and beautified, and
at a small distance from the house are new offices, erected in a
quadrangle, on the same plan with the royal Mews at Charing Cross.
They are placed behind a large plantation of trees, so that they do
not appear till you come near them, and yet are at a convenient
distance from the principal edifice, which, it is said, his Lordship
proposes to rebuild.

BUCKINGHAM HOUSE, is finely situated at the west end of the Park. In the
front, which is towards the Mall and the grand canal, it has a court
inclosed with iron rails. At the entrance of the edifice, which is
built with brick and stone, is a very broad flight of steps, upon
which are four tall Corinthian pilasters, that are fluted and reach to
the top of the second story, and at each corner is a plain pilaster of
the same order. Within this compass are two series of very large and
lofty windows, over which is the entablature, and in the middle this
inscription in large gold characters:
SIC SITI LÆTANTUR LARES.
_Thus situated may the houshold Gods rejoice._
