Under the foregoing conditions, it is no 

 matter what fort of building they are kept 

 in, a mud-wall tenement is as good as anyj 

 nay on account of its drynefs perhaps pre- 

 ferable to any other ; the barns and other 

 out-houfes of farmers may be ufed for this 

 purpofej or, in hot countries, cccafional 

 iheds may be made, which, in fuch cli^ 

 mates as fome of our colonies enjoy, will 

 fufficiently anfwer the end ; for the reader 

 mud here take notice, that feveral circum-r 

 ftances, which will be mentioned in the 

 courfe of this inflru6lion, are rather con- 

 veniences for thofe that would do things in 

 the neateft manner, than abfolutely necef^ 

 fary, and that many of the precautions 

 asfainfl cold and wet will be ufelefs in fome 

 climates. Thofe circumftances which are 

 abfolutely necelTary to be obferved, the 

 praftitioner will, from his own experience, 

 loon diilinguifli from thofe which are not 

 fo material, or which the nature and con- 

 veniences of the country determine him to 

 make choice of; and the courfe of l:jis 

 practice will alfo make him fupply what 

 may haply be forgotten among a number 

 pf minute and various circumftances.
