Frigidarium 4 Sept.r 1800
N
Ascertaining
the quantum of
cold necessary.
Time which the
Balneum would
continue within
the required temperature
in a Frigidarium
of the
proposed size and
construction independent
of calefaction
by influx of
air on opening
the door and by
sojournment of
the Inspector.
Mean temperature
of the Year
is according to
Kirwan.
Frigidarium
stocked with Ice
say 15th Dec..<hi rend="underline">r by the
15th of Feb..y the mean
temperature of
the external air
for the two Months
being obtained by
observation sufficient
data may have
been obtained unless
in case of almost
constant frost for
ascertaining the
probable duration
of the Stock: because
califaction
by sojournment
will not be much
greater in summer
than winter.

Husbanding the
Cold. -
In the Frigidarium
none of the Inspection's
time to be
consumed in deliberation
An exact graphical
plan of the
Frigidarium with
the packages contained
in it to
be prepared in
the first instance
and all changes
to be marked upon
the plan as
soon as made in
the Frigidarium.
Not more than
one Inspector at
a time but in
case of necessity.
Times of Inspection
best in the
24 Hours: and
that as short as
possible: say 10
Minutes. -
The same time
to save for
1. Inspection
2. Extraction
3. Insertion
4. Feeding the
Balneum with Ice.
Time of visitation
in the 24
Hours the coldest
that admitts of
sufficient light
viz a little after
sunrise.

Husbanding the
Cold.
Time of sojournment
to be carefuly
noted (if by a
second watch so
much the better)
and entered on
the Journal.
By choosing
the coldest time
of the 24 Hours
that the morning
not only the
califaction by influx
of air will
be the minimum
but so will the
heat of the subject
matter at
the time of insertion.
Construction
At the apex of
the mount on
the outside a cistern
fed by a Pump
the Waste Water
thereby discharged
on hot days down
the Mount on all
sides : whereby the
Grass of the mount
will be maintained
in its verdure &
the Frigidarium
refrigerated.
May not the
Waste Water Well
serve for preparatory
cooling previous
to introduction
into the Anti-Frigidarium?
