[Illustration: YORK TERRACE, REGENT'S PARK.]

YORK TERRACE,

REGENT'S PARK.


If the reader is anxious to illustrate any political position with the
"signs of the times," he has only to start from Waterloo-place, (thus
commencing with a glorious reminiscence,) through Regent-street and
Portland-place, and make the architectural tour of the Regent's Park.
Entering the park from the New Road by York Gate, one of the first
objects for his admiration will be _York Terrace_, a splendid range of
private residences, which has the appearance of an unique palace. This
striking effect is produced by all the entrances being in the rear, where
the vestibules are protected by large porches. All the doors and windows
in the principal front represented in the engraving are uniform, and
appear like a suite of princely apartments, somewhat in the style of a
little Versailles. This idea is assisted by the gardens having no
divisions.
