's Thus, before a house is planned, the proprietor must 

 describe the kind of house he wishes to build. The architect 

 is to consider what must be had and what may be dispensed 

 with. He ought to keep his plan as scrupulously within the 

 expense proposed as within the limits of the ground he is to 

 build upon : he is, in short, to enter into the views, the wishes, 

 and the ideas of the gentleman who will inhabit the house 

 proposed. 



'^ The requisites of taste are well described by Dr. Beattie, 

 under five distinct heads: " i. A lively and correct imagina- 

 tion ; 2, the power of distinct apprehension ; 3, the capacity 

 of being easily, strongly, and agreeably affected with sublimity, 

 beauty, harmony, correct imitation, etc. ; 4, sympathy, or sen- 

 sibility of heart ; and, 5, judgement, or good sense, which is 

 the principal thing, and may not very improperly be said to 

 comprehend all the rest."
