Remarks. This villa was designed for a person who died just before the period fixed for carrying it into execution. The drawings were kindly sent us by John Perry Esq. ; accompanied by the following remarks, by his assistant, Mr. Varden : — « The terrace was not to go all round the building, as it would have interfered with the offices. The vases were to be of Austin's artificial stone, or of Peake's earthenware. The walls were to be built of brickwork, and faced with the best grey stocks, carefully picked of a uniform colour; the stringing cour.ses, cornices, &c., were to be of liath stone, am! the sills of Portland.
