road to tho North leads to the magnificent, estate of Insclund, which is indebted for its beauties to tho late Chamberlain de la Calmette. Eastward of the farm house is a gate, on the left of which- is a fertile plain, and on the right is a most charming wood of birch; advancing further into this delightful garden, is a beautiful Chinese summer house and near it is a small J>iece of water adding much to its romantic scenci’y ; beyond which i 3 the prospect of the superb Mansion formerly belonging to Chamberlain de la Calmette, at whose expense the beauties of this part of the Island have been so greatly increased. At the back of the residence is a fine piece of wa­ ter, in which arc several small islands, and at the end is a grotto where there are several monuments to perpetuate the memory of the deceased chamberlain. Near the Grotto is another piece of water, called the lake of Tokkevad in which arc four small islands, decorated with Pine and Poplar trees. On the side of one of the lakes, arc several ser­ pentine walks, leading to a parterre; these walks were laid out after the taste and directions of Madame de la Calmette; they are decorated with Beech, F ir, Pine, and Chesnut trees; from this enchanting spot is a' glimpse of the Baltic and in clear weather is to be ob- ' Berved the South Eastern view of the heights of the Is land of Itugcn; towards the north you ascend a lull, called Lisehoe on which the deceased Chamberlain began to erect a building representing a Ruin, bHt he did not survive its completion. Formerly this was one of the most beautiful spots in liisclund, but the prospect is now in some measure intercepted by the foliage of the trees, still there is a very, majestic view of the Chinese summer house,
