beautiful Hindoo temple was erected as a tribute to the merits of Warren
Hastings, Esq. late Governor General of Bengal. This building is erected
of artificial stone, after the chastest models of Hindoo architecture,
and profusely ornamented with appropriate embellishments.

on the bank of the river Wandle: it was purchased by Lord Clive, and

house, a large white edifice, stands on the west side of the park,
which, though not very large, is, in many parts, beautifully romantic.
