Proposal
Against the danger
quote the depth of
some of the deepest
mines - where the terror
of descent if not the danger
is increased by the
darkness
The danger to Visitors
will be completely
dispersed by the workmen
who will live
in the castle as they
build it
For the extraordinaryness
quote the greatest highest
buildings known.
1. Pyramids of Egypt
2. Colossus
3. St. Peters at Rome
4. Salisbury Steeple
For the clearness
health purity, healthiness
&c observe that
the dispersion of kinder
miasmata &c is as
the centre of the distance
i:e: of the height.[+]
For extent of prospect
compare it with the
heights of the highest
hills near London
1. Highgate
2. Hampstead
3. Shooter's
4. Box-hill
[+] It must in these
respects have a great
advantage over even
the steepest hill: since
in this steepest hill the
soil which is the source
of miasma, vapour &c
still keeps in to the very
summit, the only advantage
being the difference between
a level and a slope.

Reflectors will serve

the enemy at sea

the channel.
Statue of the King
in hollow transparent
Colerless - illuminated
from within.
Weight of the Statue
in hoisting how
to be balanced by
the counterpoise
A certain proportion
of the height, say
two feet to be raid
inclosed and
used as a Warehouse
for Panopticon
Further proportion
use - and if a
greater height
making Patent
that
If the whole height
is too great for winding
up at once, on
account of the length
of the rope suppose
there were stages unveiling
on one side
at different portions
of the height with separate
winding apparatus
in each.
How to obviate this
danger of the Ropes
breaking by its own
weight.
