 the Court, a Terrace- Walk, which is what, 

 in my humble Opinion, is very deficient in all 

 Books and Defigns that I have feen 3 for it is 

 not only a dry clean Pavement to walk round, 

 sad view the Edifice, but alfo thereby the 

 Building itfelf appears confiderably the higher. 

 And tho* it may be objeded, that the Terrace 

 at the farther End will flop the View, I fhall 

 advife, that this Terrace is only to be us'd, 

 where a handfom depending Level can be had, 

 (as it is here fuppos'd it may) for which Rea- 

 fon here is fuppos'd 3 Foot 6 Inches fall in 

 the Court itfelf, from A to B, the Height 

 of the Terrace above A is two Foot, and the 

 Bafementis higher than the Terrace at the 

 Entry into the Hall, five Foot, befides the 

 Height of a Man, which is at leaft 5 Foot 

 more, is in all ig Foot and an half 3 and this 

 is (allowing two Foot and an half for the 

 Height of the Parapet above the Terrace-Walk) 

 fo)l 3 Foot higher than the Terrace- Walk at 

 |he End of the Courts In order to take away 

 ^11 Objedion, I have likewife, at the Bottom 

 of the Offices, at C, falln two Foot more 5 

 fo that then the Floor of the Hall is full five 

 Foot above the Parapet of the Terrace at the 

 End of the Court 3 and if to that be added 5 

 f'oot, the common Height of a Man, I can't 

 conceive that any Objedion can be made to 

 this Way of Defign. 



In Addition to the foremention'd Conv^ni- 

 ency of a Terrace-Walk round a Court, let 

 mc mention, that it likewife difpofeth of all
