and rigidly appropriated to that service, the less of it would serve.
The separate spaces, allotted for this purpose, would not, in
other respects, be thrown away. A bed, a bureau, and a chair must be had at
any rate, so that the only extraordinary expence in building would be for
the partitions: for which a very slight thickness would suffice. The youth
of either sex might by this means sleep as well as study under inspection
and alone: a circumstance of no mean importance in many a parent's
eye.
In the Royal Military school at Paris, the bed-chambers (if my
Brother's memory, does not deceive him) form
two ranges on the two sides of a long room: the inhabitants being separated
from one another by partitions; but exposed alike to the view of a Master
at his walks, by a kind of grated window in each door. This plan of
construction struck him, he tells me, a good deal, as he walked over that
establishment (about a dozen years ago was it not?) with you: and
possibly in that walk the foundation was laid for his Inspection-house. If
he there borrowed his idea, I hope he has not repaid it without interest.
You will confess some difference, in point of facility, betwixt a state of
incessant walking and a state of rest: and in point of compleatness of
inspection, between visiting two or three hundred persons one after another, and
seeing them at once.
