boob-cases all round ; those on each side of the fire-place being over 
large cabinets, about 4 ft. 6 in. high, filled with a collection of shells, 
minerals, and organic remains, etc. ; and, to save the space that would 
otherwise be lost at the angles, pentagonal closets are formed there, in 
which maps, and various articles that cannot be conveniently put on 
the regular book-shelves, are kept. The doors to these corner closets 
are not more than 9 in. in width, and they are of panelled wainscoat. 
The shelves are fitted in front with mahogany double reeds, fixing the 
cloth which protects the tops of the books, thus giving the appearance 
of mahogany.
