ROMAN REMAINS IN BATH, 83 



ing to the walls, are the remains of twelve pilasters. Tliis 

 Bath stood north and south. To the northward of this 

 room, parted only by a slender wall, adjoined a semicircular 

 Bath, measuiing from E. to W. fourteen feet four Inches, and 

 the other way, eighteen feet ten inches. In this semicu'cular 

 Bath was placed a stone chair, eighteen inches high, and 

 sixteen inches broad. To the Bath were two flights of 

 Steps, the flight divided by a stone partition, and the 

 Steps seeming to have been worn by use three inches and

 other southward. These rooms were heated by means of

 were scattered pieces of burnt wood, charcoal, etc. On 

 each side of the furnace, adjoining the wall of the north- 

 ernmost stove, is a semicircular chamber, of about ten feet 

 four inches by nine feet six inches. After the time that

 buildings were only the wings of a much larger central 

 building. This central building had wings at each end, as

 made at different timcs. " The whole," says AVhitukcr,
