But the banquet offered to curiosity is will be
attractive, in proportion to the variety and even (if such
a term may be here endured the brilliancy of the scene.
This will on a twofold account be as the magnitude
of the establishment: first in respect of mere physical
magnitude: one acknowledged and principal ingredient
(as to Edmund Burke else) in the composition of the
sublime: then again in respect of the expence that
would be required for giving to it whatever subsidiary
attraction it might be found susceptible of.
Even on the supposition that either on or even before
the completion of the permanent Panopticon, the use of
the proposed temporary one would be discontinued, the
expence of it would not be altogether lost. As materials, the
materials would have more or less saleable value: and the consideration
of such value might be taken into account in the
choice of them: wood for example, or iron as far as it can
be applied, removeable with least loss: brick not without more
loss, lath and plaster, total loss. The selection might have
a professional Report to warrant it.
Of the four surrounding walls of the square one might
perhaps be so situated, as to be capable of constituting with
or without addition to the height, one of the walls of the
permanent Panopticon: and if in the Parallelogram containing
the temporary Panopticon, one pair of sides were longer
than the other, one of the longer pair might be taken for this
purpose.
