Panopticon Luxuries
The water flowing
into the Conservatory
through an Urn held
by a River God recumbent
at the upper
end and of an obscure
Bridge formed by an
arch coming into the
conservatory at right
angles - flowing over
broken rocky ground.
The River-God from Coade-Sealys.

Spar- for a casing
for the buildings-
stuck in plasters,
in this manner, off
the gravil and flints
that are sometimes
used.
The Panopticon.9
The Dwelling house
The Hot house
The covered Garden
inside or out.
Instance the Pyramid
at Merryworth.
Mode of fastening
it or in even
planes - Machine
consisting of parallel
boards sliding
up & down on pillarscast iron lasters
and brought
together by screws.
Shrubbery - beds to
be all raised very
high in the middle
sloping down to
the walkunder and into as well
as to the other side
This in such manner
that as a screen
the shrubbery may
be perfectly impenetrable
and that
speedily - the thins
of the upper plank
being backed by
the foliage of the
lower.
Raising the ground for
this purpose to be assisted
by J.B.'s machinery

Covered Garden
Whole Tiles for
the side walls
and the bed of
the rivulet - even
for the outside -
Make them large - of the
size of Stone slabs.
Skylight windows
to open on arched
racks - one at each
end
To open and shut of
themselves according to
the heat - per J.B.
Grotto within
the covered garden
To be cool in
summer and
warm in winter
it should be separated
by a removeable
partition
from the hot-house
part.
Shells to be listed
with their classification
and nomenclature
& Fossils?
Organ
To have a perfect
super-excellent one, without
going at first to
too great expence, make
a few stops only at first
making the common
parts upon such a scale
as to admitt the rest
successively.

Garden Covered supplied
with warm water
from the Steam
-Engine - which
would be so much
steam towards converting
it into
steam for heating
the Garden
For catching objects, Leadless
barrels raised
upon poles, to
show where groups
should be active
The Plantation.
The barrels set in
a frame of beads or
canvas, to show the effect.
These frames
To show that the
Garden does not
terminate at the
Looking-Glass, show
a good part of the
continuation as
it curves off to the
left - It might
be thin in the
form of a narrow
path
Conceal the inner
boundary of the
building, by shrubs
planted within the
oval in the open
ground.
may be painted to
represent a mass of foliage
& cut accordingly
not in regular
figures but tree-like
The effect of vistas
one beyond another
may thus be tried
before hand.
To make deep vistas
use Windsails supported
in a horizontal
position - punched down
in the inside.

Garden Covered
First to run in
a straight line
say 100 feet to
be multiplied and
by glass
at the ends, then
to curve off
to a recurrent
curve, an oval
so that the scene
shall be perpetually
changing,
and perpetually
boundless.
By means of the
sloping of the
ground, the back
part of the oval
may be so much
lower as not to
obstruct the view
from the first part.
The looking glass
need not be long
and expensive
Windsor panes
will do just as
well as whole
glasses by giving
the appearance
of looking through
a windsor or grated
door.
The sash part
might have the
appearance of
iron railing -
or two Palm Trees
on the each side,
their branches -
The necessity of
perfect glass diminished
by
straggling branches.
