It ftands about fix miles fouth-west of Chefterfield, on the eaft fide of the Derwent, having the river on one fide, and on the other a very lofty mountain, the declivity of which is planted very thick with firs. The heads of thefe trees, gradually rifing as the mountain afcends, might feem, to a poetical imagination, to have climbed one above another, to overlook and admire the beauties of the buikling below. The front, which looks to the gardens, is a piece of regular architecture. Under the cornice of the frieze is the family motto, CAVENDO TUTUS,' which, though but twelve letters, reaches the whole length of the pile; the fathes of the Attic ftory are feventeen feet high; the panes are of ground glais, two feet wide; and the wood-work of the frames is doubly gilt. The offices have a fpacious court, adorned with two noble arcades. The hall and chapel are adorned with paintings by Vario, an Italian mafter of great eminence; particularly a very fine reprefentation of the death of Cæfar in the capitol, and of the refurrection of our Lord. The stair-cafe is extremely magnificent. The chambers, which are large and elegant, and where ftate is joined with great conveniency, form a magnificent gallery, at the end of which is the Duke's clofet, finely beautified with Indian paintings. There is alfo a library, with a collection of the most valuable authors, and many excellent original paintings of the most celebrated mafters. The principal floor contains the apartments of ftate, which are, indeed, extremely noble. The weft front, which is that reprefented in the annexed plate, faces the Derwent, and is adorned with a magnificent portal. The terrace is dreffed with froft-work, from which is raised a large ruftie bafement that fupports an Ionic order; and in the middle a beautiful tetraftyle, covered with an intiched pediment. The whole front is dreffed with excellent fculpture, and finished with a regular balustrade, adorned with vafes of exquifite choice. Before this front there is a ftone bridge over the river, with a tower upon it, that was built by the Countess of Shrew bury. There is alfo, in an ifland in NUMB, CCCXXI, VOL. XLVI. the garden there is a grove of cyprefs, and feveral ftatues extremely well executed. There is alfo a very fine piece of water, in which there are feveral ftatues, reprefenting Neptune, his Nereids, and fea-horfes; on the banks is a tree of copper reprefenting a wil low, from every leaf of which water is made to illue, by the turning of a cock, fo as to form an artificial flower. Advantage has been taken of the irregularity of the ground to form a cafcade; at the top are two feanymphs with th ir urns, through which the water illues; and in the bafon, at bottom, there is an artificial rofe, fo contrived, that water may be made to iffue from it, fo as to form the figure of that flower in the air. There are many other beauties, both of art and nature, peculiar to the place, of which no defcription, however minute and judicious, could convey an adequate idea. This palace was built by William, the firft Duke of Devonshire, and is the invention of Mr. Talman, anno 1681. The ftone ufed in the building was dug from quarries on the fpot, including the marble, which is finely veined, but is found in fuch plenty, that feveral people have used it to build houfes. From this houfe there is a moor, extending thirteen miles north, which has neither hedge, houfe, nor tree, but is a dreary and defolate wildernefs, which no ftranger can crofs without a guide. This plain, however, contributes not a little to the beauty of Chatfworth; for the contraft not only renders it more ftriking, but it contains a large body of water, covering near thirty acres of ground, which is not only a common drain for the adjacent country, but fupplies all the refervoirs, canals, cafcades, and other water-works in the gardens of Chatfworth-houfe, to which it is conducted by pipes properly difpofed for that purpose." Upon the hills beyond the garden is a park, where are alfo fome ftatues and other curiofities; but even thefe hills are overlooked by a very high rocky mountain, from which the view of the Palace, and the cultivated valley in which it ftands, breaks at once upon the traveller, like the effect of inchantment. In the house that was first built upon this fpot by Sir William Cavendish of Suffolk, Mary, Queen of Scots, remained prifoner, for 17 years, under the care of Cavendish's Ff widow, |
