Kew Gardens to-day contain what seems the completest botanical collection in the world, but before being given up to public pleasure and instruction, this demesne was a royal country seat, specially favoured by George III. This homely King had two houses here, and began to build a more pretentious palace, a design cut short by his infirmities, but for which Kew might have usurped the place of Windsor. For nearly a century it had a close connection with the Royal Family.

[1] There is, indeed, a small patch of gravel near “The Spaniards” at Hampstead which is rather more than 400 feet above the sea, but this may not be connected with the sculpture of the Thames valley.
