    3|Vauxhall, Surrey, 23. A hamlet situated on the banks of the river
     |Thames. It contains several extensive manufactories of pottery,
     |stone, patent shot, and several distilleries. Here is also that
     |celebrated place of amusement for the metropolis, during the
     |summer season, known by the name of _Vauxhall Gardens_, originally
     |opened under the name of _Spring Gardens_, in 1730, by Mr.
     |Jonathan Tyers. The season commences on the 4th of June, and
     |closes the latter end of August; it is open three times a week.
     |
     |The grounds are very handsomely decorated with paintings,
     |originally from the humorous pencil of Hogarth; all the walks and
     |avenues are brilliantly lighted with variegated lamps and
     |transparencies. In the centre of the gardens is erected an
     |orchestra, where the concert commences at eight o’clock, assisted
     |by the most eminent performers, both vocal and instrumental, and
     |finishes about twelve o’clock with a display of fire works.
     |
     |In the neighbourhood of Vauxhall are many handsome residences.
     |
   79|Vespasian’s Camp, Wilts, 161. This ancient fortification occupies
     |the summit of an eminence, bounded by the river Avon; it is
     |surrounded by a single ditch and vallum, inclosing an area of
     |thirty-nine acres. Its origin is supposed to be British, though it
     |bears the name of a Roman Emperor, whose troops might probably
     |have occupied it, to whom additions and alterations, evidently
     |made, may be attributed; and there are also many traces remaining
     |which denote its subsequent occupation by the Danes and Saxons.
     |The area of this entrenchment is covered with plantations,
     |disposed in avenues, walks, &c.
