This you will say belongs more to your head if the dulce
than the . Another that I hope will come under
both heads as well as under that of the , is
a new and very strange idea in shipbuilding, which
having obtained full powers he is carrying into
practice execution with all his might. If it succeeds to the
degree in which according to received theories and experiments
which have already been made if it though
in it ought a much less perfect state than that to which
it has been brought to now, it ought, it will
to effect a great revolution in inland, and nay we
hope ever in maritime navigation. It is as
simple in its conception as the other architectural
one, though in its application it requires a combination
of contrivances.
The architectural idea consists in nothing but in the place of what we
call an Inspection-house is that of a circular
building so contrived that any number of persons may
therein be kept in such a situation as either to be, or
what comes nearly to the same thing to serve themselves,
to be, constantly under the eye of a person or
persons occupying a station in the center which
we call the Inspector's Lodge. You will be surprised
when you come to see the efficacy that which this simple
& seemingly obvious contrivance promises to the business
of schools, manufacturers, Hospitals & all sorts of
Prisons, and even Hospitals, if one may venture to
say so to an adept. The ship-building idea
might be given in a single word: but even that
word must be suppressed considering the channels
through which this letter may have to pass. Amongst
