to Compleat a Building this would reduce
the Expence so as not to render it an object
or they might if brick Earth was at hand
make their own bricks, or if the building was
not more than thirty twenty five or thirty
feet high they might build it of sunburnt press'd Earth
where nothing but Labour would be required &
which if the Place was surrounded by a
high wall would be sufficiently Strong to
confine them — all those fills should might
be with Earth & would have the necessary Security of Safety from
Fire — Indeed All Public Offices All Store
Houses all Barracks All Prisons ought to
be constructed with Arches to render them
Incombustible .. & Modern Improvements
have recently Invented two or three Different Modes
with flat arches the upper side of which forms the floor of one room & this
serves the Ceiling of that below —
of Arching a Building &yet so that the pressure
shall not be Latereally but perpendicularly
upon the Walls — one of which is not so Expensive
as the Common mode of building the other rather
more so.
