Note 9 — VII ST. MARY

This delightful spot, to which art and nature seemed to have conspired, in imparting the brightest touches of beauty and sublimity to the surrounding scenery, is situate in the higher part of the St. Mary’s Mountains, and at present in possession of Henry Archbould, Esq. It was denominated the “Decoy,” from the various attractions it possessed, and the interest it maintained in the breast of its numerous visitors. The garden is represented as the burial-place of that respectable but unfortunate family the Prices.
