=Saltram=, 122, the seat of Lord Boringdon. This mansion is said to be
the largest in the county, covering an area 135 feet by 170. The
principal suit of apartments is on the ground floor, which are elegantly
fitted up, and adorned with an extensive and valuable collection of
pictures; the upper apartments are also embellished with a number of
fine drawings, by the most celebrated ancient masters, and many good
portraits.
The grounds possess many singular attractions: an extensive diversity of
landscape and massy wood, Plymouth Sound, the Town, Citadel, Mount
Edgecumbe, the Sea, and Harbour, with its endless variety of amusement.
The internal beauties of Saltram are also extremely numerous: a bold
irregularity of surface characterises the grounds, and renders the
variety unceasing. Myrtles are here seen flourishing all the year in the
open air, and oranges and lemons are brought to maturity, and produce
ripe and perfect fruit.
