LoadSpeed of Communication between Office and Office

It would be no small a great convenience, if the Office of the Prime Minister and the Offices belonging
to the several SubDepartments were all under the same roof.
In this case, if the situation in the Prime Ministers Office
were central, the others forming a ring around , a set of
Conversation-tubes would enable the Prime Minster to confer
with each and each of the, even in as far as there
were any , each of them with every any other, without
rising out of their chairs: and this the time ordinarily
spent in going to and fro would thus be saved Tubes adaptedapplicable
to this purpose, by fitting me into another to any length have
long been made in London and elsewhere in England.
He who writes this held conversation once, on<add>and</add>without any strain of voice conversed without differe without differently
th with a person through a tube of nearer four hundred
then three hundred foot in length. The experiment was instituted
for the by him, with a view to a purpose such as that.

As to Tthe Office of the Justice Minister, this should rather be
remote from, them contiguous to the above-mentioned cluster of
Offices. Between the Administration Department and the Judiciary
the less the communication the better.
