THE ITALIAN GARDEN, WILTON HOUSE 202 XHHilton Ibouse contain the antique marbles and busts collected by Thomas,eighth Earl, many of which were purchased by him from theMazarin and Arundel collections. One of the most remarkableobjects is a basso relievo in old Greek mosaic tesselated workrepresenting the Garden of Hesperides. Two statues by Cleo-menes, one of Faunus with his leopard, and the other of Cupid breaking his bow after his marriage with Psyche, are ofgreat interest. The tomb of Aurelius Epaphroditus, which wasbrought from near Athens, and was presented to CardinalRichelieu, is a wonderful specimen of ancient Greek carving,as is also an inscribed Altar of Bacchus. The statue of JupiterAmnion is also remarkable. It was set up in a temple in Thraceby Sesostris. There are also over one hundred antique busts,including those of most of the Roman Emperors. It would be impossible within the limits of a short articleto enumerate all the objects of artistic and historical interestwith
