Though it cannot be said that the arrangement of the offices of this 

 house is so good as it would be if they were placed on each side of a 

 straight passage ; yet it will not be denied that these offices include 

 everything that is desirable for comfort and even luxury. The chief 

 difficulty which occurs to a stranger, in looking at the plan, is, to dis- 

 cover how several of the rooms which compose the offices are lighted ; 

 and this, it may be necessary to state, is chiefly effected from the roof; 

 a mode which, in the case of some rooms, such as a butler's pantry, 

 china-closet, plate-room, &.c., is to be preferred ; but which in most 

 cases it is desirable to avoid. 



The three windows to the three principal rooms being on the same 

 side of the house, and adjoining each other, must necessarily have a 

 sameness of view; but the quiet character intended to be produced by 

 the idea of a cottage by a road side, may be supposed to account for 

 circumstances of this kind, and for various others. 



The following are the details of the farmyard, garden offices, and 

 hot-houses, as exhibited in Fig. 6 : — 



1, Rustic alcove, forming a recess under a thatched roof, which covers 

 the space from the green-house, 3, to the houses or yards, 70, 71, and 

 72. This rustic alcove has the floor paved with small pebbles, and 

 the sides and ceiling lined with young fir-wocd, with the bark on. 

 There is a disguised door on the right, which cads to 69, a house 

 for grinding-mills and other machines ; and or, the left, which leads 

 to 2, the ship-room. In the upper part of the central compartment, 

 in a square recess fronting the entrance, is a white marble statue of
