Should the situation be such as to afford a suf¬ 
ficient stream of water for the purpose, the Pound¬ 
ing Mill-House, and one Water-wheel, perform the 
whole process ; which may be extended to grating 
Cassada : but, should that not be the case, and a 
Horse-mill be requisite, it should be immediately 
contiguous, and to leeward of the Granary or 
Bcaucan . As the Horse-walk is circular, so should 
be the Building which covers it—at least a,polygon 
of a considerable number of sides, of which per¬ 
haps sixteen is as convenient a number as can be 
adopted ; and here, as the span is considerable, 
and a very trifling additional expence will convert 
it into a Building of such utility and importance, 
1 cannot repress my censure of those whose mis¬ 
taken parsimony induces them to deprive them¬ 
selves of the advantages to be derived from two 
or three feet additional length of post, which 
affords a spacious airy apartment for the reception 
of Coffee, towards the latter part of the process of 
the manufacture. The upper floor of this Building 
1 would prefer (if the ground will admit) to be on a 
level with the lower floor of the Granary, or Beaucan y 
and doors of communication, with a kind of bridge- 
passage between them. The Coffee fit for the 
pounding process should then be thence brought 
to the floor of the polygon building, and let down 
through a shuttle in the floor to the pounding 
trough, as fast as may be requisite ; and the fan¬ 
ning, or winnowing Mill being situated without, 
against one of the sides of the polygon most imme¬ 
diately to leeward, and covered with a shed-roof, 
continued from the eve of the main building, would 
so far complete the process. The
