Though it cannot be said that the arrangement of the offices of this 
house is so good as it would be, if they were placed on each side of a 
straight passage ; yet it will not be denied, that these offices include 
every thing that is desirable for comfort and even luxury. The chief 
difficulty which occurs to a stranger, in looking at the plan, is, to dis- 
cover how several of the rooms which compose the offices are lighted ; 
and this, it may be necessary to state, is chiefly effected from the roof ; 
a mode which, in the case of some rooms, such as a butler’s pantry, china- 
closet, plate-room, etc., is to be preferred ; but which in most cases it is 
desirable to avoid. 
The three windows to the three principal rooms being on the same side 
of the house, and adjoining each other, must necesssrily have a sameness 
of view ; but the quiet character intended to be produced by the idea of a 
cottage by a road side, may be supposed to account for circumstances of 
this kind, and for various others.
