Partitions
moveable
An Since I saw you an idea has just occurred to me in proof
of the likelyhood there is that occasions may
present themselves of for wishing to make deviate
from the original contract. In the book I
have supposed all the partitions walls that divide
the cells are supposed to be all of them brick or stone: in short fixed. It now
occurs to me it would be better on several
accounts if one a number of them were
to be of wood, so as occasionally to slide in
and out. 1. It would be better it should not be
out of the every body's power if those to alleviate
the punishment by admitting either from the
first or after a certain time by allowing two or more
to live together. [+]
[+] This might seem a mighty trivial
concern to some persons
writing and reading
like you and me
at our ease: but to
the poor devils
in question it
may make the
difference between
rapture and despair.
I am
speaking to one by
whom this remark
will I am sure
be felt in its full
force.
2. The nature of the structure might more pliable, if one may
to make for a space capable of being so say the construction is left in this respect, the greater
upon occasion enlarged. Window partition when latitude is left with regard to the choice of the manufacture:
so I need the less the danger that if the one first
pitched upon should fail, the establishment should be precluded
up might cut off conversation all manner of in-
the benefit of adopting the next most promising one in its room
Wooden partitions when up might cut off <add> all manner of</add>
intercourse as effectually, I should suppose as brick walls, by being
made double and the interval filled with sand
for example. In the mode of building used in
Japan, the outside walls being fixed, the number
and relative dimensions of the apartments are varied
at pleasure by partitions which shift like the
scenes of our play-houses. The more an inspection
house could be made to partake of the Japanese stile in
this respect the better. the the less said to
species of manufacture is set up in the first instance.
