SIR, YOUR acknowledged taste in the Fine Arts, and particularly the judgment you have acquired, by extensive travel and research, in the principles of Architecture, an art so essentially useful to mankind, induce me to solicit your pa- tronage to this volume of Designs. It is a first essay submitted to the Public, and I feel proud in your permission to introduce it to the w^orld under the sanction of a Name which will ensure respect wherever the Arts are known. I am, SIR, your obliged, and most devoted humble servant, JOSEPH GANDY.

THE idea of the following Work was suggested by the hints thrown out in the valuable Publication issued under the dire6lion of the Board of Agriculture. We there find some very intelligent Communications on the subject of Cottages and Farm-buildings*, replete with observations di6lated by the soundest policy, and originating in the humane desire of increasing the comforts and improving the condition of the Labouring Poor. The Communications alluded to, relate chiefly to modes of construction, circumstances of distribution, and other local particulars ; objects unquestionably of the first importance, and which should never be lost sight of. But the advance- ment of Public Taste requires more than this — that we should combine convenience of arrangement with elegance in the ex- ternal appearance ; a point of much consequence to the general aspe6t of the country. Artists, whose business it is to study this branch of Design, are particularly calkd upon to lend '^' Communications to the Board of Agriculture, vol. i. b IV their assistance in accomplishing this National Objedl ; and that is precisely the intention of the following Work ; the De- signs in which, if the Artist has been able to execute his own intentions, will be found to unite convenimce and taste in a greater degree than has hitherto prevailed in this class of Buildings : they are offered as hints for the consideration of Country Gentlemen, and others, who build, and who are suf- ficiently aware of the use and importance of consulting Ar- chite6ls upon these occasions*, by which disappointment, and eventually great expences, may be avoided. If we look round the country, and except the seats of a few of the Nobility and Gentry, who have acquired a taste for the Fine Arts, we shall find but little to admire in the Civil Archite6lure of Great Britain. Should we observe any * It has been frequently remarked, that Gentlemen residing in the country, who build, have been deterred from applying to professional Designers, from the enormous charges which they make for their time and travelling expences; but this matter might be better managed, by direfting the Country Surveyor (whose busi- ness it would be more particularly to attend to the arrangement of local conveni- ences and the construftion) to convey his plans to a professional Architect, where they would receive that polish which can only be expected from men whose education. and praftice, as Artists, enable them to distinguish between true and false taste. The plans should be accompanied by a sketch or description of the surrounding country, that the Artist may adapt his building to the particular situation and cir^ cumstances of the spot upon which it is to be erected. thing pleasing in tlie houses of Farmers, and the Cottagers' dwelhngs, upon refleaion we shall discover, that they owe it principally to their age, colours, situation, accompanying ob- jects, or to variety of forms, which accident, and not preme- ditated design, has produced. The towns and villages of England, with a few excep- tions, exhibit meanness and filth, with a variety of clumsy and rude forms, which are exceedingly odious to the eye of refined taste, and must give strangers and travellers an unfavourable impression, with respeft to the state of the Arts in this Coun- try. Our consequence and pride as a nation, call aloud for a redress of this public grievance. What can be more frightful than the black and white daub- ings to successively projetling stories in some market-towns, as if they wished to shew all the deformities of the timbers, and exhibit the skeleton of a house ? How strong is the contrast between the appearance of those and that of Bath and Oxford ; the first all cheerfulness ; the latter every thing that is grand, and almost sublime, in Archite6lure ? The variety of styles in the Archite6lure of the classical, elegant, and picaresque city of Oxford, affects the imagination of the traveller in a very forcible and pleasing manner, like the imagery of the Poet ; and the impression is never forgotten. b2 VI But the importance of attending more to the exterior ap- pearances of the Farmers' Houses, as well as the Cottages of the Labouring Poor, will be seen by the Moralist and specula- tive Philosopher, in another, and no less striking point of view. The cffe6l of early impression is well known to every attentive observer of human nature. A habit of neatness, and attention to cleanliness, docs more towards forming the dis- positions of the Labouring Class, than those who are not ac- customed to consider the great effeds produced by apparently little causes, would at first be inclined to believe*. So it is, in a great measure, with taste : the early habit of contemplating fine forms, produces a correspondence in ideas of beauty, and creates a natural good taste ; whilst, on the contrary, vulga- rity, and lowness of ideas, are acquired, when wc are born and educated among obic(5ls incapable of exciting any fine im- pressions. The consequence of this early bias, perhaps, always Conti- nues in a greater or less degree ; and men will form their opi- nions of the works of others, according to the scale of perfec- * " Whatever encourages and promotes habits of industry, prudence, foresight, virtue, and cleanliness, among the Poor, is beneficial to them and to the Country ; whatever removes or diminishes the incitement to any of these qualities, is detri- mental to the State and pernicious to the individual." — Reports ef the Society for let- terinj^ the Condition of the Poor, vol. iii. vu tion which has been established in their own minds, or the principles which they first imbibed. This accounts for the vile and almost barbarous taste still existing among Country Builders, which would certainly be improved and corre61:ed, by scattering over the country specimens for imi- tation, of a superior kind. Good taste would thus be natura- lized, and we should not be disgusted (as is so frequently the case) with the appearance of Country Buildings. It is a question submitted to the Public, whether Architec- tural Designs, in general, should be uniform, that is, having corresponding parts on each side of a centre ; or whether they should be composed of parts dissimilar, though har- monious. Uniformity, it is conceived, belongs only to the hi«);her classes of Archite6lure ; to places dedicated to the service of the Deity, in which the rotund has the advantage over every other form : but this uniformity, exhibiting only a dull mono- tony, is not so suitable for many archite6lural purposes, as when variety is studied, which is the grand principle of beauty in building. Uniform buildings have but one point of view from whence their parts are corresponding ; from every other point vm they fall into the picturesque by the change of perspe6live, which is an argument drawn from Nature, that the pifturesque is the most beautiful ,- but it is more difficult to manage, and requires the same sort of skill and genius as fine music. The flanks of our Churches, and other public buildings, gene- rally fall into the picturesque, and are far preferable to the fronts. Public Places of Worship in England, in their exterior forms, are little better than Barns or Cottages on a larger scale, with a spire, of no use or meaning, except it were on the sea-coast, to serve as a beacon. The four towers of St. John's, Westminster, have a grand and imposing efFe6t, from their situation near the river ; and it is to be regretted that the parts of that church are not equal to the conception of the whole. When you observe the great outline of St. Paul's and Westminster- Abbey against an evening sky, they have an .efFe6t that is truly grand ; the one like the gate, the other the palace of the heavens. All this is owing to simple mass of form, and not to their ornaments, which are of little use ex- ternally : it is in the inside chiefly that ornaments should be objeds of attention, where they are not liable to be destroyed by the weather. Simplicity, and variety in the great outline of buildings, should be considered, both in the greatest and the smallest works. IX Most of the following Designs have been studied on this principle of variety, which the Author conceives to be that best adapted for Cottages. Those which are regular may be changed into the piduresque, by taking away one wing ; and the pidluresque or irregular Designs will become regular by seledting a centre, and repeating the parts on each side, if the Builder prefers such dull monotony. The Author has thought it necessary to say this much on the subjedl, as he wishes strongly to direa the attention of his countrymen to the importance of cultivating principles of taste in the constru^ion of their Cottages, and other Farm-buildings. Most of the Designs are drawn without coppers, ovens, and other little conveniences, because it is imagined the situation of those things will greatly depend on local circumstances. The plans of the Farm-houses have not all the accommo- dation in the offices necessary for them, as it is considered that more or less extent of offices will depend on the builder's incli- nation or purse. The Estimates, too, are only given as approximations, as the expence must ultimately depend upon the materials used, and the prices of work in the countries where any of the De- signs may be executed. It remains only to add, that the buildings may be executed with pise-zvork (as described in the Communication to the Board of Agriculture), with clay, brick-nogging, or rough-cast; the coverings of thatch, stone, slate, or any other materials com- monly used ; the pillars, in all cases, consist of young trees cut to size, and the bark left on. Upon the whole, the Author's general ^aim has been to dif- fuse a more extended idea of taste, even in buildings of the lowest class, and in every part of the country, than pre- vails at present ; and should his exertions towards that end meet the public approbation, it is his intention to pursue the subjedl in a second series of Designs, which may be published in the course of the ensuing summer. 84, JVells Street, Oxford Road, January, 1805, } EXFJLANATION OF THE DESIGNS.
