He immediately, I befeve by Terry scounsel, requested Mr. Stark of Edinburgh, an architect of whose talents he always spoke warmly, to give him a design for an ornamental cottage in the style of the old English vicarage-house. But before this could be done, Mr. Stark died; and Scotts letters will show how, in the sequel, his building plr.H o, checked for a season by this occurrence, gradually expanded, until twelve years afterwards the site was occupied not by a cottage, but a castle. His first notions are sketched as follows, in a letter addressed to Mr. Morritt very shortly after the purchase. VOL. III.
