262 Piiblic Establishment for 



describe the building which was appropriated to this 

 use, and the other local circumstances necessary to be 

 known, in order to have a clear idea of the subject. 



This building, which is very extensive, is pleasantly 

 situated in the Au, one of the suburbs of the city of 

 Munich. It had formerly been a manufactory, but for 

 many years had been deserted and falling to ruins. It 

 was now completely repaired, and in part rebuilt. A 

 large kitchen, with a large eating-room adjoining it, and 

 a commodious bake-house, were added to the buildings ; 

 and work-shops for carpenters, smiths, turners, and such 

 other mechanics as were constantly wanted in the man- 

 ufactory for making and repairing the machinery, were 

 established, and furnished with tools. Large halls were 

 fitted up for spinners of hemp, for spinners of flax, for 

 spinners of cotton, for spinners of wool, and for spinners 

 of worsted ; and adjoining to each hall a small room 

 was fitted up for a clerk or inspector of the hall (spin- 

 scJireiber). This room, which was at the same time a 

 store-room and counting-house, had a large window open- 

 ing to the hall, from whence the spinners were supplied 

 with raw materials, where they delivered their yarn 

 when spun, and from whence they received an order 

 upon the cashier, signed by the clerk, for the amount 

 of their labour. 



Halls were likewise fitted up for weavers of woollens, 

 for weavers of serges and shalloons, for linen-weavers, 

 for weavers of cotton goods, and for stocking-weavers ; 

 and work-shops were provided for clothiers, cloth-shear- 

 ers, dyers, saddlers, and rooms for wool-sorters, wool- 

 carders, wool-combers, knitters, sempstresses, etc. Mag- 

 azines were fitted up as well for finished manufactures 

 as for raw materials, and rooms for counting-houses,
