 make it fine, or expenfive; no matter 

 how plain it is, provided it be tight and 

 convenient. All that is requifite, is a 

 warm comfortable plain room, for the 

 poor inhabitants to eat their morfel in, 

 an oven to bake their bread, a little re- 

 ceptacle for their fmall beer and provi- 

 fion, and two wholefome lodging apart- 

 ments, one for the man and his wife, 

 and another for his children. It would 

 perhaps be more decent, if the boys 

 and girls could be feparated; but this 

 would make the building too expenfive, 

 and belides, is not fo materially necef- 

 fary ; for the boys find employment in 

 farm-houfes at an early age. For the 

 better explanation of what I mean, I fub- 

 join plans, elevations, and eftimates of 

 two forts of cottages; and as elm and 

 pak-poilards are of little value in m.any 



countries.
