Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Michael Armstrong, the Factory Boy, Vol. 1
Of the fitting up of this princely mansion it is only necessary to say, that it is done in a spirit of emulative imitation, which renders it fully equal, in this respect, to the most finished private dwellings in Europe The furniture is uniformly rich throughout; the picture-frames in the best style of art; Saxony carpets in the drawing-rooms, Turkey ditto in the dining rooms, Brussels in the bed-rooms, and indeed not a single inch of Kidderminster anywhere, except in the garrets.
