 4JY lome Perrons it may be deenied fMpeifiiious to add another 
 Book to the long Catalogue of Works already publjflied, on the 
 Subject of Plans and Elevations for Houfes : if this Idea were 
 allowed to prevail too far, an End would be put to all Hopes of 
 future Improvement, to ^\\ new Arrangements, or Combinations, 
 in an uleful and elegant Art, Architedlurp, and efpecially its Ap^ 
 plication to the Conveniences of poliilied Life, is capable of an 
 infinite Variety of Diftributions and Combinations, as well inter>- 
 nal as external; and every ProfelTor will have Ideas peculiarly his 
 own, differing froni his Predeceflbrs, or his Cotemporaries j fome 
 of which he may fairly hope wjli be confidered as Improvements 
 in Conveniences and Tafte; while, with his utraoH Efforts, he muil: 
 expe<3: fome will be treated with Negled. 
 
 From the Precepts and Examples I jeceived in my profeffional 
 Education, under a mofl refpe(3:able Mailer, I am led to hope thel'e 
 Hints for Dwellings will add an acceptable Variety to the many 
 elegant Works already before the Piublic. 
 
 Of the following Deilgns, feveral liaye been made for particular 
 Situations, in which the Peculiarities of the furrouuding Scenery 
 
 a 2 have 
 
( iv ) 
 
 have been attended to, and the Style of the Buildhig made to cor- 
 refpond with its Situation ; a Circumftance worthy of much Con- 
 sideration by every Perfon who willies to combine the ufeful with 
 the agreeable. Flattered by the Approbation of many of my Em- 
 ployers, I am induced to lay before the Public thefe Fruits of my 
 Studies, from which I hope fome ufeful Hints will be obtained by 
 Gentlemen, who will be at the Trouble to confider various Forms 
 and Effedls, before they commence a Bufinefs of much Magnitude 
 and Expenfe. 
 
 A late Author, of much Celebrity (Price, on the Pidlurefque), 
 has well obferved, " the Difference of Expenfe between good and 
 bad Forms is comparatively trifling j the Difference in their Ap- 
 pearance, immenfe : then when Grandeur and Magnificence are lefs 
 thought of, the mofl painter-like Effedis may be produced, even 
 by a Mixture of the fimpleft Things, when properly placed and 
 combined with others." In the following Defigns, I have endea- 
 voured to fulfil the above Precept ; and without degrading the grand 
 and magnificent, have ftudied to unite Simplicity of Charadter with 
 Elegance of Form. Thefe my humble Endeavours afpire not to 
 the Rank of the grand and fublime; yet, if public Approbation 
 pronounce them to poffefs Ufefulnefs, combined with true Tafte, it 
 will be to me the mofl: flatterin": Reward. 
 
 'to 
 
 In the Defigns for Dwellings in the Cottage Style, I have attended 
 to a Simplicity fuited to the Charader of the Structure j rejecfting 
 all Superfluity of Ornament, as inconfiftent with the Building : in 
 the Plans on a larger Scale, and in the Defigns for Villas, I have in- 
 
 dulged 
 
( V ) 
 
 dulged in more Ornament and Variety of Contour, as allowable to 
 fuch Buildings, whole Inhabitants rnay be confideredof fome Rank 
 in Life, and entitled to more Show as well as Conveniences : yet 
 here I have generally avoided expenfive Conftrudlion and Decora- 
 tions; one Inftance excepted, in which Expenfe was not limited. 
 The others, I am perfuaded, will come within the Verge of mode- 
 rate Fortunes j and are not more coflly than is confiftent with the 
 eafy Independence of Gentlemen wifhing an elegant Retirement. 
 
 Of the Plans, I hope the Diftribution will be found to pofTefs 
 Convenience, Elegance, and Economy. This Branch of the Ar- 
 chitedl's Profeffion is the mofl arduous ; and to this Point fhould all 
 the Powers of his Mind be diredied, united to all the Intelligence 
 which can be furniflied by the Employer ; for within the Houfe, 
 thofe Comforts and Conveniences will be fought, which fhall com- 
 penfate for all Expenfe and Trouble. In the Plan, I may be al- 
 lowed to fay, will be fhown the Skill, Tafle, and Ingenuity of the 
 Artiftj here, his Addrefs in furmounting Difficulties will evince 
 itfelfj and here, the Conveniences to be combined and arranged, 
 muft render the Manfion inviting to the Mafter, and convenient to 
 the Family : by a good Diftribution alfo much Space is faved, or 
 applied to ufeful Purpofes, and the Expenfes much abridged : 
 and I muft again repeat, that too much Care cannot be given 
 to well arranging the Plan, fuitable to the Family, Circumflances, 
 and Defires of the Proprietor; for a proper Attention to thefe Cir- 
 cumftances in the Outfet, will prevent much future Uneafinefs, or 
 Alterations, which never fail to create Expenfe. Particular Regard 
 has been given to thefe feveral Circumftances in the following 
 
 Plans, 
 
( vi ) 
 
 Plans, which in general have been fully ftudied, ready to be put in 
 Execution ; and are far from being ideal Schemes only. To render 
 this Work as ufeful as poffible, to many of the Defigns the Plan 
 of the Chamber Floor is added to the general or Ground Plan. I 
 beg leave further to obferve, whoever intends to build fhould well 
 confider the Fitnefs of the propofed Situation, for Health, for 
 Convenience of Accefs, and, above all, for a fiifficient Supply ot 
 good and wholefome Water j his Labours and Expenditure may 
 otherwife end in total Dilappointment. 
 
 The nearer the Plan of a Building approaches to a Square, the 
 greater are its Conveniences, and the Coft proportionably lefs. A 
 Square, equal in fuperficial Extent to a Parallelogram, requires 
 lefs external Walling, and confequently lefs internal Finifhing. In 
 the following Plans I have endeavoured to make the Building as 
 compad: as poffible, whereby Convenience is produced, and Ex- 
 penfe is faved : when the Apartments are fcattered, and lie wide 
 from each other, with long Paffages, much Unpleafantnefs muft be 
 experienced, and much Expenfe enfue, by covering a larger Space 
 of Ground than is abfolutely neceffary. This Objedion, I think, 
 may fiiirly be urged againfl fome Schemes which I have lately feen 
 by an ingenious Artift, in which his Anxiety to produce Variety 
 and Want of Uniformity has led him to devife Plans void of Con- 
 venience and Economy ; how far void of Tafte, 1 will not iay ; 
 yet, furely, Uniformity is effential to Beauty. I fay this, merely 
 to oppofe a Tafle which I confider falfc, and an Economy which is 
 Profufion. 
 
 In 
 
( vii ) 
 
 In the Defigns for Town Houfes, or Houfes built uniformly in 
 Rows, in the Vicinity of great Towns, I have given Examples on 
 two different Scales, calculated for different Circumftances in Life; 
 in each will be found all the Conveniences and Comforts which 
 could pofTibly be included in fo fmall a Space : thefe, I hope, will 
 have their Ufe, and add fomething to the Conveniences of fecial 
 Life. 
 
 In thefe coftly Times, when Labour and Materials for building 
 are fo extravagantly dear, I am well aware many Gentlemen would 
 wifli to have Eftimates of the Expenfe of each Plan and Defign ; 
 thefe, I fear, would only lead to much Error and falfe Conclufionsj 
 as Difference of Situation and Circumftances will lead to endlefs 
 Variation ; and I cannot fuppofe any of thefe Hints will be im- 
 plicitly followed : having calculated nearly all of thefe Plans, ready 
 to be carried into Execution for my feveral Employers, I am pre- 
 pared to anfwer Inquiries on this Subjed:; when, all Circumftances 
 being truly reprefented, an eafy and accurate Anfwer may be given.

 Kitchen will fupply a Ciftern over the Water-clofet, whence 
 Water may be laid on to the Dreffing-room and Kitchen. A Rc- 
 fervoir over the covered Way will fupply Rain-water for do- 
 meflic Purpofes ; this may be occafionally filled by the Force- 
 pump, which alfo will fupply the Bath, hot Water for the Ser- 
 vice of which, may eafily be obtained by a Pipe from the Kitchen 
 Boiler. The Dreffing-room may be warmed by a Retort, heated 
 by the Kitchen Fire. By defcending a few Steps into the

 the Entrance to which will be from the Landing on the Stairs.
