through_o those_o of_o inferior_a rank_n i_o come_v next_o to_o the_o remarkable_a curiosity_n of_o architecture_n in_o our_o most_o stately_a building_n and_o that_o have_v a_o more_o immediate_a relation_n to_o mankind_n than_o any_o before_o mention_v whereof_o some_o be_v private_a other_o public_a and_o may_v both_o be_v consider_v either_o in_o the_o whole_a or_o part_n of_o private_a building_n the_o most_o eminent_a in_o this_o county_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o earl_n of_o anglesey_n lord_n privy_a seal_n at_o blechington_n the_o earl_n of_o

that_o of_o the_o right_n worshipful_a sir_n anthony_n cope_n late_o of_o hanwell_n of_o sir_n john_n cope_n at_o bruern_n abbey_n sir_n tho._n spencer_n at_o tarnton_n sir_n tho._n chamberleyn_n at_o

to_o some_o of_o the_o aforementioned_a either_o in_o greatness_n commodiousness_n or_o elegancy_n of_o building_n 130._o and_o yet_o among_o all_o these_o eminent_a private_a structure_n can_v i_o find_v nothing_o extraordinary_a in_o the_o whole_a but_o in_o the_o part_n the_o kitchen_n of_o the_o right_n worshipful_a sir_n philip_n harcourt_n knight_n of_o stanton_n harcourt_n be_v so_o strange_o unusual_a that_o by_o way_n of_o riddle_n one_o may_v true_o call_v it_o either_o a_o kitchen_n within_o a_o chimney_n or_o a_o kitchen_n without_o one_o for_o below_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o large_a square_n and_o octangular_a above_o ascend_v like_o a_o tower_n the_o fire_n be_v make_v against_o the_o wall_n and_o the_o smoke_n climb_v up_o they_o without_o any_o tunnel_n or_o disturbance_n to_o the_o cook_n which_o be_v stop_v by_o a_o large_a conical_a roof_n at_o the_o top_n go_v out_o at_o loophole_n on_o every_o side_n according_a as_o the_o wind_n sit_v the_o loophole_n at_o the_o side_n next_o the_o wind_n be_v shut_v with_o fall_a door_n and_o the_o adverse_a side_n open_v 131._o the_o spacious_a staircase_n at_o blechington-house_n be_v also_o remarkable_a not_o only_o for_o that_o it_o stand_v on_o a_o area_n of_o 30_o foot_n square_a but_o for_o its_o rarity_n too_o it_o be_v not_o perhaps_o at_o all_o at_o least_o not_o easy_a to_o be_v meet_v with_o among_o the_o writer_n of_o architecture_n wherefore_o though_o i_o can_v approve_v of_o its_o contrivance_n in_o all_o particular_n yet_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o its_o magnificence_n and_o variety_n from_o most_o if_o not_o all_o other_o i_o can_v in_o justice_n but_o afford_v it_o a_o short_a description_n 132._o it_o be_v place_v therefore_o backward_o opposite_a to_o the_o most_o honourable_a entrance_n of_o the_o house_n between_o two_o wing_n that_o extend_v themselves_o beyond_o it_o and_o the_o gross_a of_o the_o pile_n you_o enter_v upon_o it_o have_v pass_v by_o the_o hall_n and_o other_o office_n usual_o place_v by_o it_o at_o the_o door-way_n a_o tab._n 13._o fig._n 4._o and_o land_n upon_o the_o half_a pace_n 1_o which_o together_o with_o the_o rest_n mark_v 234_o etc._n etc._n be_v 6_o foot_n ⅓_n square_a the_o figure_n in_o their_o natural_a order_n show_v how_o you_o ascend_v from_o one_o half_a pace_n to_o another_o by_o ascent_n of_o 7_o step_n each_z about_z 5_o inch_n ½_n deep_a and_o near_o 10_o inch_n ¾_n broad_a the_o half_a pace_n mark_v with_o the_o same_o figure_n lie_v on_o the_o same_o level_n and_o therefore_o as_o 4_o be_v the_o high_a half_a pace_n in_o this_o first_o scheme_n of_o it_o so_o it_o be_v the_o low_a in_o the_o second_o tab._n 13._o fig._n 5._o 133._o in_o which_o also_o the_o order_n of_o the_o figure_n show_v the_o manner_n of_o ascent_n just_a as_o in_o the_o former_a only_o it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o as_o the_o ascent_n to_o the_o half_a pace_n 4_o in_o the_o first_o scheme_n be_v suppose_v from_o east_n and_o west_n so_o the_o ascent_n high_o from_o it_o in_o the_o second_o be_v to_o north_n and_o south_n of_o which_o two_o scheme_n place_v alternat_o over_o one_o another_o the_o whole_a staircase_n be_v frame_v from_o bottom_n to_o top_n which_o be_v easy_o apprehend_v if_o you_o but_o imagine_v the_o half_a pace_n 4_o in_o the_o second_o scheme_n to_o be_v place_v over_o 4_o in_o the_o first_o and_o such_o another_o frame_n as_o be_v delineate_v in_o the_o first_o scheme_n to_o be_v place_v on_o the_o second_o the_o letter_n v_o v_n show_v the_o vacancy_n that_o open_v a_o prospect_n from_o the_o top_n to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o whole_a staircase_n and_o a_o b_o c_o d_o show_v the_o place_n of_o the_o door_n into_o the_o room_n at_o each_o corner_n of_o it_o 134._o in_o short_a this_o staircase_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o composition_n of_o 4_o half-pace-open-neweled_a staircase_n as_o may_v easy_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o figure_n 123_o 123_o 123_o 123_o and_o 567_o 567_o 567_o 567_o only_o communicate_v in_o the_o middle_n which_o indeed_o show_v very_o magnificent_o but_o have_v this_o inconvenience_n that_o there_o be_v no_o passage_n from_o one_o room_n into_o another_o though_o on_o the_o same_o floor_n without_o go_v up_o and_o down_o many_o step_n as_o in_o scheme_n the_o second_o if_o from_o a_o to_o b_o and_o so_o of_o the_o room_n of_o any_o of_o the_o other_o side_n you_o have_v no_o passage_n but_o from_o 6_o to_o 7_o and_o so_o down_o again_o to_o 6_o i_o e._n 14_o step_n but_o if_o you_o be_v to_o go_v from_o corner_n to_o

without_o ascend_v and_o descend_v in_o all_o twenty_o eight_o step_n 135._o of_o public_a building_n the_o most_o eminent_a in_o the_o county_n be_v certain_o those_o of_o the_o college_n and_o

set_v forth_o it_o shall_v suffice_v i_o therefore_o to_o give_v a_o succinct_a account_n of_o some_o particular_a part_n of_o they_o whether_o in_o the_o stone_n or_o timber-work_n scarce_o to_o be_v
