And search revolving periods past, to look, With recollected interest, on all The dim memorials, and things of fame, That do renown this ancient family. Watson. HE ancient homesteads which crown the banks of the James, York, Rappahannock, and other rivers of Virginia, constitute one of the most pleasing features in its scenery. They make the beholder forget the present, and carry him back into the early days of the Old Dominion. These homes, occupying lofty heights or peeping from embowering foliage, whose antiquated appearance is in such strong contrast with all that is modern and familiar, in some instances date back more than two hundred and fifty years.
