 crowded localities of the poor in towns it is highly objectionable),

Plan ISTo. 2. 



Description. — The two cottages are precisely alike, and the 

 entrance to them is beneath a shedded porch, which should front 

 the south or south-east, and open upon a small plot of ground 

 reserved for a few flowers and fragrant herbs. 



Each cottage contains in the ground-floor a living-room, scul- 

 lery, and pantry. 



The living-room is 14 feet by 12 feet, and it will be observed 

 that no encroachment is made upon this area by the projection of 

 the fire-place, and that a useful closet is also obtained without 

 any deduction from the dimensions of the apartment. 



The scullery is 12 feet by 8 feet, and has a fire-place by which 

 culinary operations may be carried on at seasons when the tem- 

 perature may not make it convenient to have a fire in the living- 

 room. A tinned iron or a copper pan is proposed to be placed 

 in the recess near the fire-place, from which a flue should be 

 built within the chimney-shaft for the purpose of conveying away 

 the steam without the liability of its passing into other apartments.
