turned down, may better hide the joint rail.
The title of this table fufficiently indicates its ufe. The
ftyle of finifhing them is neat, being commonly made of fatin-
wood, with a brafs moulding round the edge of the rim.
The front part of the rim is hinged to the top, in the fame
way as the front of a fecretary or defk-drawer; fo that when it
is turned up, it faftens by two thumb-fprings as they do. The
brafs moulding is mitered upon the edge of the rim when the
front is up, and after it is hinged; which being cut through
with a thin faw, the moulding, on the return of the front, will
be fair with that on the end.
The ihelf below is fhaped fomething like a boat. The
bottom of it is made of inch huff, and double tenonned into the
ftandards, as the profile plainly fhews. The top of each ftand-
ard has alfo double tenons, to which crofs-bars are morticed and
fcrewed to the under-fide of the top.
The fcale fhews the proportions of the ftandard, and the
height of the table; its breadth is fourteen or fifteen inches.
