 W HEN the fcheme of this work was firft arranged, I Intended to have com- 
 prifed it in thirty-one plates ; but not being able to explain the number of ar- 
 ticles propofed to my fatisfadlion, I have been under the neceflity of extending 
 the work to thirty-eight plates: this addition will -I hope be accepted for any 
 variation from the original plan. To my numerous Friends and Subicribers 
 I beg leave to obferve, the defigns here given poflefs advantages beyond mere 
 fancy fketches; many of them having been carried into execution in various 
 parts of the kingdom, and of moft of them I have fmall models which com- 
 pletely fhew their efFedt in execution ; thefe I fhall be happy to explain to any 
 Gentleman who may wifh to infpedt them. 
 
 In addition to the cuftomary method of making Mud-Walls, as pradlfed 
 in Devonfhire and other counties of England, I beg to notice the new method 
 of building Walls for Cottages, &c. as pradlifed in France ; of which an ac- 
 count is given in a little work lately publifhed at Paris, under the title of Ma'ifojz 
 de PifS' The method there propofed and on experience recommended, is to 
 conftrud the Walls of dry earth, well rammed, or beaten together in a mould, 
 like a cafe : the advantage attending this method is by the author M. Cohiteraux 
 fpoken of in the higheft terms, and as applicable to buildings of confiderable 
 extent, with upper ftories, &c. That this method is pradicable on a fmall 
 fcale, I am well afllired by fome Gentlemen, who have really built with 
 fuccefs in this manner. It certainly is cheap ; for, the mould or cafe once 
 formed, it is eafily fhifted, and the whole procefs may be performed by cont- 
 mon labourers. It may be proper to obferve, the feveral pieces of the mould 
 muft be made to fit properly, and the whole muft be well braced or tied toge- 
 ther, to refill the percuflion of the beating. This method has fome advan- 
 tages over that ufually pradtifed ; for, being worked dry, the building is habita- 
 ble as foon as formed, no danger being likely to arife to the inhabitants from 
 damp walls.

 EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES. 
 
 PLATE I. ENTRANCE GATES. 
 
 D, 
 
 'ESIGNS for two hunting gates; one executed for Lieutenant-Colonel 
 Thornton, at Thornvllle Royal, Yorkfhlre ; the other defigned for the late 
 John Morant, Efq. in the New Foreft, Hampfhire. The letters are painted 
 of a colour different from the gate, and give a general idea of the hunt to which 
 they belong : they alfo fhew the extent of the proprietor's domain. 
 
 The fecond figure is a defign for a field gate, in the fame manner. 
 
 The third figure fhews the entrance gates to the front of Selfdon farm- 
 houfe, in Surry ; executed by me fome time fince. The dotted lines fhew the 
 manner in which the oak pofts, &c. are framed under ground ; the piers are of 
 wood, well painted and fanded: the convenience and effed: of the whole have 
 been much approved. 
 
 The fourth figure fhews the gates leading to the farm-yard at Thornville 
 Royal, executed by me in 1 79 1 ; one fide is here fhewn open railing, the other 
 clofe park paling. I have fometimes made thefe gates to open in two divi- 
 fions, fo that one ferves for a foot gate, when it is not neceflary to open the 
 whole for a carriage.

 PLATE II. FENCES. 
 
 SECTIONS of two fpecimens for Ha ha's ! or funk fences ; the firfl fhewr 
 an excavation below the dotted line, which marks the level of the adjoining 
 ground ; the fod is packed up to the rails inclining inwards ; the polls and 
 rails are fixed at an angle of about forty-five degrees ; the earth is thrown on 
 the top and planted with low fhrubs, which entirely conceal this flope-fence ;. 
 and which no cattle will attempt to oppofe. The fecond fe£lion is a funk 
 fofle, planted on both fides, with perpendicular rails in the middle j a hedge, 
 hurdles, or ftack-bars might be fubftituted. 
 
 The third fedion is a funk Ha ha ! wall, in the common way; when the 
 ditch will hold water, this is a fafe and an agreeable fence, as at Richmond. 
 Gardens, next the river, &c. 
 
 Figure 4. — If it happens that an approach, ride, walk, or hill commands a 
 fide view of a flraight Ha ha ! fuch as figure 2, the ditch-like appearance 
 is not pleafant, and, at fome points, this cannot be avoided ; a ferpentine or 
 waved funk fence is here defigned to remedy that evil : by waving the line 
 and planting the promontories, the difagreeable appearance is completely 
 obviated. 
 
 The next figure fhews two defigns for box gates, and one for a turnflile. 
 The conftrud:ion of thefe is obvious ; either of the box gates may be fo con- 
 trived as to lead a horfe through, by making one of the fide pannels with hinges 
 and a lock, fimilar to the hunting gate locks. 
 
 The laft figure exhibits a drop ftile, one fide down, the other up : the poft- 
 in the middle ferves as a centre on which the bars fwing ; the weight at the end 
 recovering them to their horizontal pofition.. 
 
 PLATE III. THE WOOD PILE HOUSE. 
 
 THIS building is intended for a convenience in a park or plantation where 
 the walks or rides are extenfive ; or for a fituation where it is difficult to con- 
 ceal thofe of common conftrudtion ; it preferves the equivoque, under the cha- 
 rader and appearance of a wood pile. It is built with the arms and boughs of 
 
 oal* 
 
( 3 ) 
 
 oak trees, not too large, cut into regular lengths, and bedded in tempered clay, 
 mixed up with flraw ; the roof is thatched, and the infide, above the lining, 
 is ftuck with mofs. The conftrudlion is fuch as to have the properties of a 
 water clofet j by means of a well of water at the back, as fliewn in the fedion, 
 a trunk or pipe from the feat is funk about fix inches in the water, fo that 
 no air can draw up. This conftrudion may be adapted in moft privies ; but 
 care muft be taken that it is not too near the water for general ufes, as it may 
 contaminate. 
 
 This Cabinet was executed by me fome years ago, in the plantations of the 
 late Right Honourable Richard Rigby, Efq. at Miftley Thorn, in Effex, and 
 alfo for the Reverend E. T. Bridges, at Wooton's Court in Kent, in an inner 
 court, overlooked by a flair-cafe window. 
 
 PLATE IV. GARDEN SEAT. 
 
 THIS building is fuppofed to be fituated on an eminence, commanding an 
 extenfive profpedl, and by the fide of a plantation ; it has open feats to three 
 afpeds, fo that the vifitor may be fcreened from fun or wind, if troublefome : 
 the fide next the edge of the plantation has a door for admiffion to a garden 
 convenience, perfectly fecret, receiving light from the top. 
 
 PLATE V. CATTLE SHED, or PADDOCK HOUSE. 
 
 THIS paddock fhed has a fmall room on each fide, one for hay, the other 
 for green meat, when pafturage is fcarce, &c. The plan will admit of either 
 of the three elevations here defigned : whichever charader may befl accord 
 with the adjoining buildings, or whichever fhall beft pleafe the fancy of the 
 builder. The grotefque or fancy charafter may be adopted, to commemorate 
 fome favourite animal for paft fervices. The building is fupported by trunks 
 
 of 
 
( 4 ) 
 
 of trees, forming naturally a rude pointed arch. The fkuU of a horfe may be 
 placed over a mural tablet, where may be recorded the feats of that noble anU 
 mal, and the water-trough may reprefent the farcophagus. The plantation 
 which environs the paddock is feen in the back ground. 
 
 PLATE VI. CATTLE SHED and FOSTERING HOUSE. 
 
 THIS building Is fuitable to a paddock, lawn, or park ; the front is fimple 
 and pleafant, as a fa9ade to the foftering or fheep-houfe ; the furrounding eaves 
 of which are fo low, that the fheep cannot be difturbed, or their fodder deftroyed 
 by other cattle ; it will prote£l from cold or heat in extreme weather, and is a 
 good fhelter in the feafon of lambing ; a hay-rack is fixed in the fhed, for the 
 ufe of the larger cattle. 
 
 I am indebted for this ufeful and ingenious idea to the Earl of Clanbraffil. 
 
 PLATE VII. CATTLE SHED, or PADDOCK HOUSE. 
 
 PLAN, elevation, and fedion of a cattle fhed, calculated for a right-angle 
 divifion of a meadow, or grafs land, appropriated for breeding mares, or mares 
 and foals : the fhed may be divided into four apartments, and either of the 
 partitions may be removed at pleafure ; there is a rack and manger to each di- 
 vifion, and a floor above for hay, green meat, &c. This polygon building 
 may be conftrudted with fhafts or trunks of trees, or fmall timber of any fort, 
 weeded from the woods, where they may be found flraight and too clofe 
 to be properly left for large timber. The building may be raifed round 
 a large fhady tree, or a flout pole fet in the ground, and terminated with a 
 ball, or weather-cock. The fpaces between the columns or trunks may be 
 lath and plafter, rough caft, fiabs of timber, or furze wattle, as fancy fhall 
 dired. 
 
 PLATE 
 
i 5 ) 
 
 PLATE VIII. POULTRY HOUSE and AVIARY. 
 
 THIS defign was made for a Lady in the New Foreft, and intended to be 
 ereded on a lawn, in front of a neat cottage villa. The plan fhews four 
 coops for young poultry, each having an opening, occafionally to feed them 
 In the pavilion, by which they become veiy familiar and tame. The dotted 
 line within the plan of the building, fhews the wire cages for breeding and 
 rearing birds. 
 
 PLATE IX. DOG KENNELS. 
 
 THIS defign for Fox-hound Kennels was made for Lieutenant Colonel 
 Thornton, in the year 1791 ; and intended to be ereded at Thornville Royal, 
 Yorkfhire. The dotted line marks the approaches to the centre, and to the 
 porticos, where a ftranger may vlfit the hounds with fafety. The three 
 odagon cells are for entered hounds, bitches, and whelps ; the centre for cou- 
 ples, whips, &c. between the walks are the airing grounds ; the boiling and 
 feeding houfe is at the extremity. I fuggefted an idea to the Colonel, to form 
 an encampment of his fpaniels and pointers on an eminence, in a {lately grove 
 of oaks, accompanied occafionally by his Hawks and Falconers, which would 
 have had a very pidurefque effed in the park. 
 
 PLATE X. FISHING BRIDGE and BARRIER. 
 
 THIS ftrudure ferves as a Bridge of communication, or as a Barrier ; It 
 fwings on a pivot In the centre, and may with eafe be turned to anfwer 
 either purpofe acrofs a canal, brook, &c. in a garden or plantation : when 
 not wanted as a bridge, it may be fwung round, and faftened by a padlock 
 and chain. It will make a pleafmg objed to terminate the view of a garden 
 walk, &c. The railing or lattice work in front may be executed in a very 
 cheap and agreeable ftyle of ropes, in the manner of net-work, and when 
 painted will be durable. The ufes of this conftrudion are applicable to any 
 form or appearance. 
 
 C PLATE 
 
( e ) 
 
 PLATE XT. FISHING LODGE md KEEPER'S DWELLING. 
 
 THIS defign was made for the late John Morant, Efq. New Foreft, Hants ; 
 and was intended to have been executed with roots and trunks of trees, 
 near the river in his park. The plan in front contains accommodations for 
 Tea-drinking parties, Fifhing-tackle, &c. In the back part are accommodations 
 for a Keeper, who v/oidd have the care of the waters and fifliery, and his 
 family. 
 
 PLATE XIL SHEPHERDS' HUTS,, or COTTAGES. 
 
 THE plan at bottom is Intended to- be a fquare, or a parallelogram,, with- or 
 without a fire-place. If this building is conftrudted uniform at both ends, the 
 appearance will be more interefting, if propofed as an objedl, from any point 
 of view. The facade is formed of rough trunks of trees, and the walls built 
 with the arms of trees, cut to equal lengths, &c. as before defcribed. The 
 lining of the door jambs, &c. may be of oak or beech flabs ; and the building 
 covered with reed flag, flraw, or heath, thatch. The upper elevation is fup- 
 pofed to be built of flabs, and covered with thatch ; the plan circular. The one 
 hinted at in the diftance, is o(3;angular on the plan.. 
 
 PLATE XIII. cottager's LODGE. 
 
 THIS defign was made for a Gentleman in the county of Hants, and in- 
 tended to be inhabited by a Cottager, and to ferve as a Lodge near the en- 
 trance gates of his park : it may be obferved by the plan, the building will 
 have an uniform appearance viewed from every point; it is therefore well 
 calculated for any fituation, where the roads or accels are winding, or 
 where it may be viewed from high ground. This cottage, if properly built 
 on wheels, might be moved at pleafure, by having a ftove fuitably Qon- 
 ftruded. 
 
 PLATE 
 
( 7 ) 
 PLATE XIV. A BATH. 
 
 THIS bath was defigned for John Morant, Efq. Brockenhurft-Houfe, New 
 Foreft. A circular duck pond, within a clump of beautiful fir trees, gave rife 
 to this idea, which was ordered to be carried into execution : it is fituate a 
 fmall diftance from the brew-houfe and refervoir, by which it is fupplied with 
 hot and cold water, fufficient to make a full tepid bath : there are provifions 
 alfo for a fhower bath occafionally. The drelling-room is furnifhed with a 
 couch and ftove. 
 
 PLATE XV. SECTION and SIDE VIEW of the BATH. 
 
 THE fedion and fide view fhew the complete effedt of this building ; the 
 character of which, within, is light and lively ; without, clofe and fecluded. 
 
 PLATE XVI. TWO COTTAGES IN ONE BUILDING. 
 
 THIS defign for Double Cottages has the advantage of two regular eleva- 
 tions ; of courfe their appearance is uniform, which is a pleafant thing on a 
 Gentleman's eftate, where neatnefs and regularity are propofed. Theie alfo 
 will be agreeable objeds in moft points of view, from the windings of roads 
 or footways. Of Double Cottages the advantages, befides thofe above men- 
 tioned, are, I think, confiderable ; neighbourly affiftance in illnefs, &c. may 
 be then given with eafe and effed j advantages by no means fmall to a bene- 
 volent mind. 
 
 PLATE XVII. AMERICAN COTTAGES. 
 
 THESE Double Cottages are built (on the plan and in the ftyle of fome 
 in America) at Throwley near Feverfliam in Kent, by Colonel Montrefor. 
 I faw them foon after they were completed, and for their extreme fingularity 
 have introduced them in this work: the Eaft, Weft, and South afpeds have 
 a piazza round them ; and the major part of the external appearance, together 
 with the roof, is covered with plain tiles. The general declivity of the roof 
 Is well calculated to throw off rain or fnow, 
 
 PLATE 
 
( 8 ) . 
 
 PLATE XVIII. HUNTING or SHOOTING LODGE IN THE 
 
 COTTAGE STYLE. 
 
 THIS building is calculated for a fmall family to refide in, or cccafionally 
 refort to : the front is intended to be rough caft, or peretto work ; the roof 
 thatched or dated. 
 
 PLATE XIX. A SMALL VILLA IN THE COTTAGE STYLE. 
 
 THIS building is calculated for a family, and might ferve for a fporting- 
 lodge : the accommodations are numerous and convenient. It is propofed 
 the roof fhould be thatched, and the front ftuccoed, with an arcade or por- 
 tico of trillage work, fronting the South : the general appearance, ancient or 
 gothic. 
 
 PLATE XX. VILLA IN THE COTTAGE STYLE. 
 
 THE defign of this building is in the ftyle of Mr. Drummond's fifhing cot- 
 tage, on the river Avon, near Ringwood ; except that the offices in that build- 
 ing are detached. After arranging this defign, an Attic ftory was added, which 
 produces a good efFed, and abundant conveniences. This defign is intended 
 to be built by a Gentleman in Wales. 
 
 PLATE XXI. A LODGE, or COTTAGE. 
 
 THIS defign is applicable in an approach to a Gentleman's houfe : the walls 
 of this building are propofed to be built with a mixture of clay and ftraw, ufually 
 called mud-walling, and which is praftifed in Devonfliire with great fuccefs. 
 This fketch, with feveral others introduced in this work, was originally defigned 
 for a great Perfonage. 
 
 PLATE XXII. keeper's LODGE, or DAIRY. 
 
 THIS building, fuppofed to be fituated in a park, is conftruded of 
 
 branches 
 
( 9 ) 
 
 branches of trees, cut to an equal length, and bedded in loam, &c. The 
 ruftlc columns are trunks of trees in the rough ; the floor may be paved with 
 the ends of branches, cut regularly fmooth, laid in loam, and the interftices 
 filled with the fame. This building would make a convenient dairy; for 
 which purpofe, fome time ago, I gave the drawings to a Gentleman in 
 Yorkfhire. 
 
 PLATE XXIII. COTTAGE or FARM HOUSE. 
 
 PLANS, elevation, and fedlon calculated for a dwelllng-houfe, on a fmali 
 farm, or for a Keeper's lodge : the conftrudion is cheap, the charader fimplc 
 and interefting. The front fhould be white, and the roof thatched. 
 
 PLATE XXIV. A FARM HOUSE. 
 
 THIS farm houfe I built for Lieutenant Colonel Thornton, on his eftate in 
 Yorkfhire, on a large dairy farm : the fitualion is in a fmall village. 
 
 PLATE XXV. A FARM HOUSE. 
 
 PLAN and elevation of another farm houfe, built for Lieutenant Colonel 
 Thornton, Yorkfhire : the front and back are regular fa9ades. It is feen at a 
 diftance from the Boroughbridge Road, and from Knarelborough. 
 
 PLATE XXVI. SECTION and CHAMBER PLAN of the fame. 
 
 BY confulting the fedion and the plans, the diflribution of the apartments 
 in this dwelling will, I think, appear to contain all the conveniences requifite in 
 fuch a building, for a refpedable Farmer and a numerous Family. As this 
 defign has been carried into execution, I am the better enabled to recommend 
 the oeconomy of the plan. The Dairy is funk, which in Yorkfhire is confidered 
 as very advantageous. 
 
 D PLATE 
 
( 10 ) 
 
 PLATE XXVII. FARM HOUSE and OFFICES UNDER ONE 
 
 ROOF. 
 
 THIS defign originated from reading Mr. Marfhall's idea of a complete 
 Farm hbufe and offices under one roof, in his Torkjliire 'Tour. At firft it may- 
 appear whimfical, yet it is very applicable in certain fituations, where Gentle- 
 men, fond of rural occupations, choofe to hold a fmall quantity of land in their 
 own hands. This floor is even with the farm yard, and has conveniences for 
 the refidence of the Manager, with a dairy, flables, cow houfe, &c. In this fronts 
 towards the farm, the charader is plain and neat. 
 
 PLATE XXVIII. ^ GARDEN FRONT of thefayne. 
 
 THIS front, more adorned than the other, with great propriety and effe£t 
 might terminate a vifta, or row of trees ; or, if fhaded by lofty elms, the mo- 
 naftic appearance would then become peculiarly interefting. This floor, 
 which is the upper one of the building, is level with the walk or plantation 
 which connedls with the dwelling of the Principal : on this floor are the barn,, 
 granary, &c. with the fleeping-rooms of the Looker, or Manager. 
 
 PLATE XXIX. DESIGN for a FARM HOUSE and OFFICES, 
 
 HAVING THE APPEARANCE OF A MONASTERY. 
 
 THIS defign is calculated to ornament an extenfive domain, and to unite 
 the ufeful with the agreeable. In many cafes, where a Farm yard and Offices 
 are originally planned on an extenfive fcale, this defign might be adopted 
 with peculiar effedt. The whole accommodations are contained within a 
 quadrangle of one hundred and fifty feet : the entrance gates, with the tur- 
 rets and towers, have a monafl;ery-like appearance : thefe, embofomed with 
 ftately trees, give an air of antiquity, confequence, and grandeur, which 
 would form a leading feature on an eftate of confiderable extent ; the idea is 
 fuitable to many poflTeffions and counties in this country. The farm yard 
 would be fnug and warm, and the dung or other litter not liable to incom- 
 mode or diforder a park Something fimilar to this has been executed at 
 
 Kingfgate 
 
( II ) 
 
 Kingfgate near Margate, Iq the caflle ftyle. Grofe, or any other book of 
 Englifli antiquities, will furnifli abundant variety of fa9ades applicable to 
 this plan. 
 
 PLATE XXX. FARM YARD STABLING. 
 
 THE defign and plan of thefe Stables are much approved in the county of 
 Norfolk ; they may be continued for the accommodation of any number of 
 teams the farm may require. The upper elevation is for extending the plan 
 to accommodate three, four, or more teams, when the chaff houfe will be in 
 the back, as fhewn by the faint part of the plan. The Second elevation is 
 adapted for two teams, with the requifite accommodations, as the plan under- 
 neath will fhew. 
 
 PLATE XXXL BARNS. 
 
 THE Firft defign is in the manner of what is ufually called a Dutch barn : 
 there is a threfhing floor in the middle, with four enclofures for grain ad- 
 joining : the whole is framed on rick {lones, to prevent damp, and keep out 
 vermine. The Second defign is for a barn with a fingle threfhing floor : the 
 fame idea may be continued, if the barn is required larger, or an additional 
 floor wanted : the roof towards the farm yard may be continued down, and 
 enclofed for a piggery, or for flraw. Sheds for cattle, carts, waggons, plough 
 geers, &c. may be ereded againfl: the enclofure wall of the farm yard : the rick 
 yard is fuppofed to be at the back of the barn. 
 
 PLATE XXXIL COW or OX HOUSE. 
 
 THIS defign is for a double cow houfe, with a paffage in the middle for 
 a barrow to fupply the cribs with turnips, or other green meat. A floor is 
 intended over the cribs with boards or hurdles to depofit fl;raw, &c. which is 
 open in the front ; the roof continues below the wall plates, as is fhewn by 
 the fedion, to keep out wet. This kind of loft is common in Devonfhire, 
 
 and 
 
( 12 ) 
 
 and is called a linhay. When local or other circumftances will not admit of a 
 double building, this plan may be adopted fingle, to any length, ftlU preferving 
 the paflage at the head of the cattle, to fupply the food. 
 
 PLATE XXXIII. PLAN FOR A VILLAGE. 
 
 THIS defign for a Village through which a public road paffes, is intended 
 to unite fymmetry and utility: the houfes may be built on any fcale of magni- 
 tude, either for Labourers and their families, or for Perfons of more indepen- 
 dent circumftances. It is propofed to build them in couples, with a portion 
 of garden ground to each : the centre of the parallelogram may be inclofed, 
 forming an oval plat, in the middle of which a Church or Chapel would 
 be both convenient and pidurefque. A pump is placed in each angle of the 
 fquare for the ufe of the inhabitants. The ftreets or roads at right angles may- 
 be occupied with building to any extent, ftill preferving the uniformity of the 
 whole. 
 
 This defign was made for a Gentleman in Yorkfliire, and was Intended to 
 have been built in the vicinity of lead mines in that county. 
 
 A good idea for building a Village of one continued ftreet is, to place the 
 houfes, either fmgle or in couples, facing the opening or fpace allowed for 
 Garden ground to thofe oppofite. The views would thereby be preferved, 
 and the air circulate more freely. 
 
 PLATE XXXIV. VILLAGE COTTAGES. 
 
 THE defign of thefe Cottages is applicable to the plan above defcribed : they 
 may be built of brick or other materials, and covered with flates, tiles, thatch^ 
 &c» If thatch is ufed, a fteeper pitch of the roof will be necelTary. 
 
 PLATE XXXV. VILLAGE BUILDINGS or COTTAGES. 
 
 THESE Cottages are calculated for fituations fimilar to the above: the 
 
 conveniences are greater, and there are rooms in the roofs. The fedlions 
 
 of the roof will fhew the quantity of inclination, or pitch, neceflary for tiles, 
 
 or thatch. They alfo fhew the afhlering, or frame-work, which forms the 
 
 rooms within. 
 
 PLATE 
 
( 13 ) 
 PLATE XXXVL PLAN for a FOLD-YARD. 
 
 THIS plan for a Fold- Yard is propofed to be enclofed with a wall built of 
 rough or old materials, producing a monaftic chara£ter. If neceflary the Barn 
 may be enlarged, or others may be built on the vacant fides ; this enclofure 
 will be very ufeful to fold fheep in, in fevere weathen It is alfo well calcu- 
 lated for a flraw-yard, or for cattle or horfes requiring extra feed. In the centre 
 is a flied with a rack and manger to each divifionj and a place for corn, &c. 
 On the fides of the gateway are accommodations for lookers or fervants having 
 the care of the cattle. 
 
 PLATE XXXVII. A HUNTING BOX. 
 
 THE principal floor of this defign contains a good common Parlour, Dlnlng- 
 Hall, and Dreffing-Room, with fleeping rooms over. The fervants' ileeping 
 1-ooms are under the colonnade. Some of thefe rooms are intended for faddle 
 and harnefs rooms, water-clofet, and other purpofes* The offices are in part 
 under ground* The colonnades lead to the ftable and coach houfe, The 
 court is circular^ with two fmall lodges at the entrance* 
 
 PLATE XXXVIir. CATTLE YARD, with FATTING STALLS for 
 
 OXEN. 
 
 THE principles of this defign originated from feeing a building for fimilaf 
 
 purpofes, near Blackheath in Kent, erected by Campbell, Efq. which is, 
 
 I think, altogether the moft convenient for the purpofe I ever faw. Every ftall 
 has a gate, which anfwers the purpofe of fhutting the bullock clofe up, and 
 alfo of fhutting the paflage of communication one from the other, and leaving 
 a way open to the water-troughs. The fections fhew one fide as open, the 
 other as fhut. A walk commimicates all round from the fodder-houfes, wide 
 enough for a barrow to fiipply the cribs, and a pump at each angle to fupply 
 the water-trough. One fide fliews a continued trough, level, to be fupplied 
 by the pump. The other fide fhews one trough to two ftalls, as better cal- 
 culated to fituations where water is fcarce. The dotted line marks the fweep 
 of the gates. This plan fhews only half of the area propofed. The obelifk is 
 merely ornamental.
