 ARE inhabited by the poorer fort of country people, and are chiefly built of 
 flight materials, and frequently by their own fkill and labour: —they are the 
 work of neceflity, for which no rules can be given: —I fhall therefore proceed to 
 that defcription of Cottages which are built at the entrance, or in different parts 
 of parks or pleafure grounds, and may ferve the twofold purpofes of ufe and 
 ornament. They are generally inhabited by perfons in the fervice of the family 
 on whofe eftate they are erected; and fituated near or at a diftance from the man- 
 fion, according to the employments they hold, and fhould be fo planned and 
 diftributed as to allow the admiffion of a family. The cottage built at the entrance 
 of a park will form a convenient lodge. At a fmall diftance from the manfion, 
 the dairy, larder, bath, &c., may affume the charaCteriftic form of a Cottage. 
 
 Cottages in a more diftant fituation, are frequently fitted up for the reception 
 of parties engaged in rural amufements; in which, one room muft be particularly 
 appropriated to that purpofe, finifhed on a more expenfive plan, and of fuch 
 dimenfions as will be capable of containing a large company ; with neceflary 
 adjoining apartments and lodging rooms for the perfon who has the care of 
 the building. The Bailiff, Gardener, Park and Gamekeepers, &c., are com- 
 monly lodged in fuch habitations. Such buildings are compofed of ftone, 
 brick, or timber, ftuccoed or rough caft, and covered with thatch; which, 
 however, muft be determined by the materials of the country where they are 
 to be ereGted. As the feveral defigns are defcribed, with their finifhing and 
 ufes, it will be neceflary only to obferve in general, that a parlour, kitchen, 
 pantry, and fcullery, are the rooms required to compofe fuch buildings, on 
 the ground plan, with lodging rooms over them ; which muft, of courfe, be 
 proportionably arranged to accommodate the kind of family intended to in- 
 habit them.

 May be confidered under three different defcriptions.—Firft, as the occafional 
 and temporary retreats of the nobility and perfons of fortune from what may be 
 called their town refidence— and muft, of courfe, be in the vicinity of the 
 metropolis. — Secondly, as the country houfes of wealthy citizens and perfons in 
 official ftations, which alfo cannot be far removed from the capital: and thirdly, 
 the fmaller kind of provincial edifices, confidered either as hunting feats, or the 
 habitations of country gentlemen of moderate fortune.—Elegance, compactnefs, 
 and convenience, are the charaéteriftics of fuch buildings, either feparate or com- 
 bined, in contradiftinétion to the magnificence and extenfive range of the country 
 feats of our nobility and opulent gentry, 
 
 They fhould be fo planned as to prefent the general fuite of apartments on the 
 ground floor, and be fo connected with each other as to allow accefs to each room 
 without interfering with any branch of the offices: the apartments will, of 
 courfe, be enriched according to the purpofes for which they are intended, 
 
 The offices fhould be nearly on a level with the manfion houfe, whether 
 attached to or detached from it, and be fo difpofed as to remove, by degrees, the 
 feveral parts, which, being connected, may prove difagreeable as to {mell or noife. 
 The fteward’s office and room, the houfekeeper’s and ftore room, the butler’s 
 room and pantry, may be nearly conneéted with the houfe; the pantry, larder, 
 kitchen, feullery, paftry, and fervants’ hall, &c., to follow: and it will be found 
 that fuch diftribution of parts will be a convenient attachment, rather than, as it 
 too frequently happens, a connected nuifance,
