The Queen's Palace - It belonged formerly to the Duke of Buckingham, from whence it is called Buckingham House, ’till the year 1762, when his present majesty made the purchase of it; and since that time, it has been called the Queen’s Palace.  It is a very handsome edifice, and the apartments uncommonly elegant.  The celebrated cartoons of Raphael are placed in the grand saloon, and the finest pictures of the Italian and Flemish masters, are to be seen in all the apartments.  Behind there is a very large garden, &c. &c. &c. &c.
