PLATE XV. 
1 he Plan, longitudinal section, and part of the elevation of an Ornamental Stove. As botany is 
a favourite study with the ladies of this kingdom, their accommodation has been aimed at in this 
disposition : it is supposed to be connected with a pine stove; the ascent to it is seen on the left- 
hand side of the entrance, which is intended to be ornamented, and to form a centre to both the 
stoves. The centre walk (three feet wide) bisects the plan ; and a narrow one of fourteen inches 
width surrounds the pits ; so that they stand detached from the flues, and unconnected with each 
other. A small stage occupies one half of the circular end, and a bench, intended for a seat, the other. 
That part opposite the walk is to be moveable. A statue of Flora is placed on a pedestal in the 
centre. If a Passiflora quadrata be trained from the pit round the circular part, and vines (which 
may be planted inside) led from column to column, the weight of the fruit will naturally form them 
into festoons ; and the statue, seen through such a vista from the entrance, will produce a very 
pleasing effect.
