“DIS MANIBVS TI · CLAVDI · THALLIANI VIX · AN · XX · DIEB · XX CLAVDIA · FELICVLA MATER · FILIO PIISIMO.” In the West Lodge, at the entrance gates, are also preserved many fragments of ancient sculpture, and a portion of a Roman tesselated pavement with _guilloche_ pattern and other borders. Among the sculptures is a marble cinerary urn bearing the following inscription:— “DIS MANIBVS CARIIAPMIIB MVSA F · APOIII NARIS · PATRONVS CONIVGI BENI MIRENII H IVIIA MYRAMAIIRE F PIIS.” Another cinerary urn is inscribed:— “D M REMNO.” There are also other portions of inscriptions, and among the more interesting of these remains are:—A fine _torso_ of Venus, and another _torso_ of a female, of very similar dimensions; the head of a stag, life-size, presented to the Duchess of Devonshire by the King of Naples; heads of fawns, of Jupiter, of a Cupid, of Silenus, &c.; part of a colossal medallion of Lucius Verus; a bas-relief of Bacchus, supported by a younger male figure; an _alto-relievo_ of a procession of Silenus, in which that god is shown seated on a chariot, and leaning on a young Bacchante, and a fawn is playing on the double pipe; a number of architectural ornaments; some fine masks and portions of masks; an _alto-relievo_ of three female figures and the dog Cerberus; a fragment representing Diana and Actæon; two right hands, one grasping the other firmly, as if struggling in wrestling or fighting; some Egyptian figures, &c., and many other fragments. [Illustration: _The Sculpture Gallery and Orangery._] Above the Lodge, too, some good architectural and other fragments of sculpture are preserved. [Illustration: _Bust of the late Duke of Devonshire._] The gardens and grounds of Chatsworth are marvels of beauty, and are, indeed, in many respects, matchless both for their picturesqueness, their elegance, and the skill with which they have been laid out. Leaving the mansion from the door of the Orangery, to the left is a spacious alcove, and to the right, running in a direct line for more than a quarter of a mile in length, is a broad gravel path, at the summit of which, beneath a lofty avenue of trees, is seen a gigantic vase, bearing the simple name of “Blanche,” in touching memory of the much-loved and accomplished Lady Blanche Georgiana Howard, the wife of the present Duke of Devonshire.
