 T> Y having the Magnitude of a Room, to know what Light is fuflicient for the 
 fame, with the Proportions fuitable thereto, 
 
 RULE 
 
 Let the Dimenlions of the Room be given, viz. the Length, Breadth and Height. 
 Multiply the Length and Breadth of the Room together, and that Product by the 
 Height ; the Square Root of which is the Quantity of Light required. 
 
 EXAMPLE. 
 
 Suppofe a Room be 24 Feet long, 16 Feet broad, and 14 Feet high, how much 
 Light will be proper ? The Length and Breadth multiplied together is 3S4 Feet, and 
 that Sum multiplied by the Height (14 Feet), is 5376 Feet, whofe Square Root is 73 
 Feet 3 Inches, which is the Light required ; fo if you divide the Square Root 73 by 3, 
 the Quotient will be 24 Feet 5 Inches; therefore the Room will have three Windows, 
 each Window containing 24 Feet 5 Inches; each of which will be 7 Feet high, and 3 
 Feet 6 Inches wide. 
 
 Again, Suppofe a Room be 36 Feet by 24 Feet, and the Height 17 Feet; thefe 
 multiplied together make 864 Feet, which Produft, multiplied by the Height 1-, is 
 14688, whofe Square Root is 157; therefore that Room will have four Windows, 
 each containing 3 9 Feet 3 Inches; each Window will be 9 Feet 3 Inches high, and 4 
 Feet 3 Inches wide. 
 
 N. B. This Rule is ustiverfal for all Rooms whatever.

 Parts given in Height and Projedlion as figured. 
 
 Note. The Frize may be fomething wider than the Architrave, if required for any particular Or- 
 nament, &c. 
 
 From Plate XXVIII. to Plate XL. are defigns for Chimnies, with all the Parts figured for Prac- 
 tice, whofe Proportions are as follows for the Size of the Rooms. Suppofe a Room be 12 Feet fquare, 
 the Chimney may be 3 Feet 3 Inches wide by 3 Feet 4 Inches high; if the Room be 18 Feet fquare, 
 the Chimney may be 3 Feet 6 wide by 3 Feet 4 high ; 24 Feet fquare Room, the Chimney 4 Feet 6 wide 
 by 3 Feet 9 high; if 30 Feet fquare Room, Width 5 Feet 6 by 4 Feet high; 36 Feet fquare Room, 
 Width 3 Feet 9, Height 4 Feet 6; Room 24 Feet by 16 Feet, Width 3 Feet 10 by 3 Feet 7 high ; 
 a Room 60 Feet by 36 Feet wide, it may have two Chimnies, each 8 Feet wide and 4 Feet 7 Inches 
 high; Room 18 Feet by 16 Feet 6 Inches, Width 3 Feet 5 Inches, Height ditto; Room 22 Feet 
 by 18 Feet, Width 3 Feet 11 by 3 Feet 7; Room 24 Feet by 20 Feet, Width 4 Feet 6 by 3 Feet 
 9 Inches high; Room 36 Feet by 24 Feet, Width of Chimney 3 Feet 6 by 3 Feet 5 high; Room 
 36 Feet by 24 Feet, Width of Chimney 5 Feet 6 Inches by 4 Feet high; Room 24 by 20, Width 
 of Chimney 4 Feet 2 Inches by 3 Feet 8 Inches high. 
 
 As Chimney Pieces are a great Ornament to Rooms, I have calculated a Ta¬ 
 ble which will be fuitable to all Purpofes, from a Room of 12 Feet fquare to 
 one of 48 feet fquare. This Table is calculated for fquare Rooms; but fup- 
 pofe the Room fhould be longer than broad, then add the Length and Breadth 
 together, and take half that Sum for the Square of the Room. Suppofe the 
 Room be 24 Feet by 16, the two Sums added will be 40 Feet, the Half of 
 
 which is 20 Feet; fo a Chimney for a 20 Feet Room will do for a Room 
 
 24 by 16. Again, fuppofe a Room be 36 by 26, the two Sums added will 
 be 62, the Half is 31 ; fo a Chimney for a Room 31 Feet fquare will do 
 for a Room 36 by 26. By the foregoing Table it will be eafy to find the 
 Bignefs of any Chimney. For every 6 Inches in the Bignefs of the Room, 
 it adds 1 Inch to the Width of the Chimney and one fourth of an Inch to the Height, and if the 
 
 Room be lefs, it takes 1 Inch off the Width of the Chimney and one fourth of an Inch off the 
 
 Height. 1 he \\ hole is plain to Infpedtion, all the Meafures being figured for Pradlice.

 Rails, and the String Boards muft in Courfe follow the Steps as the Moulds direct, as b. c. d. and 
 e. f. g. only to be cafcd on the under Edge, as fhewn on the Plate, by Interfe&ion of Lines, as to 
 the fixing of Hard Rails to Stairs, for their Height varies much according to Mens Fancies, from 
 2 Feet 4P Inches to 2 Feet 6i Inches, that is perpendicular from the front Nofe of the Step, as figured 
 on the Plate. A fmall and eafy Rife will require to be higher than a ftiarp or quick Rife; fo the 
 Height muft be regulated according to the Rile of the Steps in Winders. If the Ends of the Steps 
 are very narrow, as one third, one half, or two thirds, or three fourths, of the Width of the Fliers, 
 the Hand Rail muft be kept up according to the Quicknefs of the Rife; but if the Ends of Winders 
 are as wide as the Fliers, the Rail will be all Parts of a Height.

 Fig. A. is the Plan of a Groin, a. m. is the Body Range of the Vault to be boarded in; and d. is 
 the Jack Ribs, to be cut as reprefented on the Plate, and fet on the Body Range ; when thofe Jack 
 Ribs are fet and boarded in the Form the Angle of the Groin, which was to be done to fet the 
 Jack Ribs plum up a flraight Piece at the Angle of the Quoins, and drain a Line from one to the 
 other over the Crown of the Body Arch, and ftrike the Line each Way, which will give the Center 
 of the Groin on the Body Range, taking a Nail at the Center to fix a Line to Aide the Line down by 
 the ftraight Edge at the Angle, and make Dots down the Side of the Body Range, and that will give 
 the Angle; or you may lay a ftraight Edge from the Center to the upright Piece at the Angle, and 
 plum down in feveral Places, and with a thin Slip mark by the Edge from one Dot to the other, or 
 ftriking a Line will anfwer the fame Thing. Always obferve to make the Ribs lefs than the Span, 
 by the Thicknefs of the Boarding.
