RURAL ARCHITECTURE. 347 



From the dining-room a door opens to Mr. Dunn's bed-room, and from hence a 

 lobby leads to the side entrance, to the kitchen, and to the back stairs ; the latter 

 conducting to a cool parlour on the cellar floor. Besides the bed-rooms on this 

 floor, there are three in the second story, over the central portion of the house- 

 An air furnace supplies heat to all the main body of the edifice shown in the en- 

 graving. 



Note. — To readers who desire to cultivate a taste for rural architecture, we 

 take pleasure in recommending the following productions of the English press: 

 Loudon's Encyclopedia of Cottage, Farm, and Villa Architecture, a volume replete 

 with information on every branch of the subject: Robinson's Rural Architecture, 

 and Designs for Ornamental Villas: Lugar's Villa Architecture : Goodwin's jRm- 

 ral Architecture : Hunt's Picturesque Domestic Architecture, and Examples of Tu- 

 dor Architecture : Pugin's Examples of Gothic Architecture, etc. The most suc- 

 cessful American architects in this branch of the art, with whom we are acquaint- 

 ed, are Alexander J. Davis, Esq., of New- York, and John Notman, Esq., of 

 Philadelphia.
