rations of the several apartments are almost uninjured; and even the articles
of use and ornament remain in the places where they were left by their
owners.   So favourable an opportunity of correcting the opinions that had
been formed of Roman domestic architecture could scarcely have been believed
possible; nor is it to be anticipated that time will ever again be so long
delayed in his work of change and destruction by one of the most awful
and almost instantaneous agents of ruin.
                                Plate XXIII.
   The design in this Plate is the elevation of a room in the Elizabethan
style.  The work should be executed in wainscot; or, if this should be
found too expensive, the lower parts may be carved, and the other portions
of the design finished in plaster, and grained in imitation of the wood.
The bay-window introduced in this design can scarcely be called one of the
characteristics of the style, but is peculiarly appropriate.  The panels
between
the piers may be filled with looking-glass.
