matical ornaments are introduced in the cornice, or on the top
of the dome, thofe defcriptive of unity, love, and innocency,
fhould be ftudied; and thofe of war, ftrife, or other irregu-
larities of the human paffions, fhould be avoided.
Noblemen’s crefts may be introduced, as ferving to diftin-
guifh the different branches of families; but, in my opinion,
not as they relate to armory.
The height of a hate bed may be varied according to the
different heights of rooms they are to hand in. However, they
never fhould be lefs than twelve feet to the top of the dome,
including a vafe, Nor fhould they, in my opinion, exceed
fifteen feet, not even where a room would admit of it. For
then the ornaments of the cornice and dome would lofe their
effect through diftance, and the whole compofition would ap-
pear as if loftinefs were the greateft beauty.
The length of a ftate bed may be feven, but fbmetimes
eight feet, when the area of a room is exteniive.
The width of tliefe beds is in general about one foot
fhort of their length, but fbmetimes they are made nearly
fquare.
