the drawings made by him " for several persons of quality " 

 were published in a volume in 1693. 1 



The designs for the ironwork for all the various gates, etc., at 

 Burley-on-the-Hill are supposed to have been supplied by 

 Tijou, but they were executed by Joshua Lord, who was either 

 his pupil or worked under him. The bill for the gates of the 

 entrance to the forecourt, dated 1700, is extant, and runs as 

 follows : " Mr. Joshua Lord by the Iron Gates at the Porter's 

 Lodge." " They were supposed to weigh 36 cwts., but when 

 bought they weighed 40 cwt. 3 qr. 7 lbs. of iron at 2d. per lb., 

 in all £96 17s. 6d." When the porter's lodge was pulled down 

 by Repton's advice 2 these gates were left, and they measure 

 11 feet 10 inches in height, the central gate being 11 feet 

 4 inches wide, and the two bridle-gates 5 feet 7 inches each.
