Cavendish square, near Oxford street, has
a spacious area which contains between
two and three acres, with a large grass plat
in the middle, surrounded with wooden
rails, erected upon a brick wall; but
both the rails and wall being much de-
cayed, now make but an indifferent ap-
pearance.  The square is, however, en-
compassed by noble buildings: the Lord
Harcourt has a fine house on the east
side; on the west is a noble edifice be-
longing to Mr. Lane, formerly the Lord
Bingley's; and in the center of the north
side is a space left for a house intended
to be erected by the late Duke of Chan-
dos, the wings only being built; how-
ever, there is a handsome wall and
gates before this space, which serve
to preserve the uniformityof the square.
Adjoining to this square, Lord Foley
has just built a very grand house, with
offices, and a court before it.
