Letter III. Extent for a single Building.

</note>

take this size for an example of such a building as he would propose for England. Taking the diameter 100 foot, this admits of
48 Cells, 6 foot wide each at the outside, walls included; with a passage
through the building, of 8 or 9 foot. I begin with supposing two stories of
Cells. In the under story, thickness of the of the walls, 2 1/2 foot. From thence
clear depth of each Cell, from the window to the grating, 13 foot: from thence
to the ends of the partition-walls, 3 foot more; which gives the length of the
protracted partitions. Breadth of the Intermediate Area, 14 foot. Total
froom the outside of the building to the Lodge, 32 1/2 foot. The double of this, 65 foot
leaves, for the diameter of the Lodge, 35 foot; including the thickness of its Walls

In the upper story, the Cells will be but 9 foot deep: the difference between
that and the 13 foot, which is their depth in the understory, being taken
up by a Gallery, which surrounds the protracted partitions. This Gallery supplies,
in the upper story, the place of an Intermediate Area in that floor: and
by means of steps, which I shall come to presently, forms the communication between
the upper story of Cells to which it is attached, and the lower story of
the Cells, together with the Intermediate Area and the Lodge. The spot,
most remote from the the place where the light comes in from, I mean the central
spot of the building and of the Lodge, will not be more than 50 foot distant from that
place: a distance not greater, I imma imagine, that what is oftentimes exemplified
in Churches: even in such as are not furnished, in the manner of this building
with windows in every part of the exterior boundary. But the Inspector's windows
will not be more than about 32 1/2 foot from the open light.

It would be found convenient, I believe on many accounts, and in
