It is always more satisfactory to see chimneys issuing from the highest part of the roof, than from the side walls, or from any lower part ; because the rising sides of the roof seem to conspire in supporting what issues out of its apex, as the leaves of a plant seem to support the flower stem which proceeds from its centre, or the spreading lower branches of a fir tree do its spiry top.
