"CLAREMONT.
"The mansion of Claremont, near Esher, in Surrey, was originally built by the Duke of Newcastle, who named it from his title of Earl of Clare.  It was subsequently purchased by Lord Clive, who pulled it down and employed the celebrated " Capability" Brown to erect the building which now exists.  After having passed through the possession of Lord Tyrconnell and C. R. Ellis, Esq., it became the property of Prince Leopold, the husband of the late Princess Charlotte, and now King of Belgium.
