Belsyse, in Middlesex, is situated on the
south west side of Hampstead hill, and
was a fine seat belonging to the Lord
Wotton, and afterwards to the late Earl
of Chesterfield: but in the year 1720,
it was converted into a place of polite
entertainment, particularly for music,
dancing, and play, when it was much
frequented on account of its neighbour-
hood to London: but since that time
it has been suffered to run to ruin.

Belvedere House, this belongs to
Sampson Gideon, Esq; is situated on the
brow of a hill, near Erith in Kent, and
commands a vast extent of a fine coun-
try many miles beyond the Thames,
which is about a mile and half distant.
This river and navigation add greatly
to the beauty of this scene, which ex-
hibits to the eye of the delighted spec-
ator, as pleasing a landskip of the
kind as imagination can form. The
innumerable ships employed in the im-
mense trade of London, are beheld con-
tinually sailing up and down the river.
On the other side are prospects not less
beautiful, tho' of another kind. This
gentleman has very judiciously laid out
his grounds, and made many beautiful
vistas. The house is but small, tho' an
addition has been made of a very noble
room; this and two others are finely fur-
nish'd with pictures, of which follows
a catalogue. The collection, though not
numerous, is very valuable, it containing
none but pieces which are originals by
the greatest masters, and some of them
very capital.
