=Ingress=, 3, the seat of W. Havelock, Esq. (formerly called
_Ince-grece_), occupies an elevated situation, rising from the Thames,
and commanding a beautiful view of the river, and of the opposite parts
of Essex. This estate has been in the possession of several noblemen and
gentlemen, who have all contributed to its splendour, either by
additions, or improvements, down to its present possessor. The grounds
are extremely beautiful, both in respect to home scenery, and to the
more distant prospects which they command: the views from the house are
particularly fine. In an elegant summer-house, built in a hollow of the
chalk cliffs, are arranged a valuable collection of Roman altars,
brought from Italy, together with statues, and other specimens of Roman
sculpture, which are placed in different parts of the garden.

chambers, stair-cases, and balconies, are ornamented with one of the
most curious collections of paintings in England.
