Extent for a single Building.
it is supposed that 18 Foot might serve for the two stories of cells, to be inspected,
as above, by one story of the Lodge: This would hold 96 persons:(36 feet for four
stories of cells, and two of the Lodge: this would hold 192 persons:) 54 feet
for six stories of the cells, and three of the Lodge: this would hold 288 persons.)
And 54 feet, it is concerned, would not be an immoderate elevation.
The drawings which, I believe will will accompany this, suppose four
for the number of stories of the Cells.
You will see, under the head of Hospitals, the reasons why I conceive concieve
that even a less height than 9 feet, deducting the thickness of a floor
supported by arches, might be sufficient for the Cells.
The passage might have, for its height, either the height of
one story, or of two stories of the Cells: according as the number of those
Cells was two on four. The part over the passge might, in either case, be
added to the Lodge, to which it would thereby give a communication,
at each end, with the would without doors; and insure a Keeper against
the danger of finding himself a prisoner amongto his prisoners.
Should it be thought that in this way, the Lodge would not have
light enough, for the convenience of a man of a station competent to the
office, the deficiency might be supplied, by a void space, left in that part,
all the way up. You may call it if you please the Central Area. Into this space windows may open, when they are wanted, from the apartments
of the Lodge. It may be either left open at the top or covered with a
skylight. But this expedient, tho'it might add, in some respects, to the
