DRAPERS GARDENS, are pleasant and commodious, though not very large. They are situated behind the hall, and being nearly square, have on each side rows of lime trees which form very agreeable walks. The middle part, which is enclosed by iron rails, has several grass plats bordered with beds of flowers, and in the center is a statue of Flora. In this part there are also several mulberry trees. These gardens are open every day in the week except Sundays, for all persons decently dressed.

DULWICH, a very pleasant village in Surry, five miles from London, where there is a spring of the same medicinal waters as those of Sydenham wells, with which the master of the Green Man, a house of good entertainment, serves this city, and in particular St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. The fine walk opposite to this house, through the woods, affords from its top a very noble prospect; but this is much exceeded by that from a hill behind the house, where from under a tree distinguished by the name of _The Oak of Honour_, you have a view as in a fine piece of painting, of the houses as well as churches, and other public edifices, from Putney down to Chelsea, with all the adjacent villages, together with Westminster, London, Deptford, and Greenwich, and over the great metropolis, as far as Highgate, and Hamstead. But Dulwich is most famous for its college.
