Viewed from almost any point of observation, the town presents a very pleasing aspect. The lower portions bordering the Den and Promenade comprise the principal dwellings of the inhabitants and visitors, behind which a gentle acclivity reveals with much distinctness the remaining part of the town, the whole being crowned by a series of handsome villa residences, for the most part embosomed in trees, which lend an air of delightful retirement to the landscape, [
