244 On Buildwg of Cottages for Farm-Lahoiirei's. 
made out in the case of twenty or thirty cottages, with a southerly 
aspect and airy apartments, having ample sashes that open for the 
admission of air, and intervals between each group of six : when 
we consider that long streets of houses, less favourably situated in 
towns, are not found to be unwholesome, unless rendered so by 
something objectionable in their vicinity. In many situations, too, 
shelter from the wind is more desirable than exposure to it, and 
this is obtained in some degree by connecting a few houses toge- 
ther, whereas, by placing them separately, the intervals between 
are apt to create eddies or gusts of wind, which are in many re- 
spects inconvenient, and in exposed situations are destructive to 
the produce of a garden, if it be placed in the way of them.
