The fine broad sea, smooth and green, lay shining in the sun, without a ripple to disturb its serenity; and for about a quarter of a mile along its margin extended one of the most beautiful promenades I ever beheld.
The first part of it is planted with small young trees, on each side of a good road, which extends between verdant plains where _glacis_ are thrown up.

This leads to the great walk; a thick grove of magnificent trees, shading a very wide alley of turf of _English_ richness.

Here and there are placed seats, and all is kept with the greatest neatness.

The establishment of the baths is ornamental, and pretty, and very extensive.

About half way up this promenade, next the sea, grounds laid out with taste, and affording shade and pastime in their compartments, surround the building.
