Our acknowledgments to the ancients are un doubtedly very great, but we are little indebted to them for any hints oft the construction of private apartments. The use of chimnies among the societal was extremely scarce, though, by the testimony of Fruetonius,,, Horace, and some nthets, they appear to have been occasionally used in private spertmeatt— Fires certainly form a very necessary part of any apart ment, from the cabin of the peasant to the palace of the Prince, and a proper degree of warmth is neces sary, not only for comfort, but for the preservation of life. It is a point, therefore, which requires cond. derable Attention from the architect. There are rat does GUMS in which chimnies are constructed ; for instance, in Russia they are placed in a corner of the room, and in Venice they are brought up on the out side of the buildings. Windows also claim great attention, with respect to their situation or their magnitude and propor tion ; and it may be said, that a proper distribution of light is as necessary for the comfort of the inhabi tants as that of heat. The young artist will do well to study the. light which is introduced by a painter into his apartment. The lurniere mysterieure, adopt ed by the French artists, produces a great effect in the hands of a man of genius, but it is, unhappily, little attended to by oar artists.

ROYAL AcADEmr. LECTURIS ON ARCIITTErTURE. Mr. Soanc's second lecture was delivered to an ex tremely crowded audience on Thursday evening. He had, in the former lecture, made those observations on houses for domestic purposes, which appeared to him most useful to the students, and had exemplified his references by drawings from the works of the best masters. He now proceeded to make additional remarks on the same subject, a few of which we shall state : The cube is the best form for rooms, and formerly a double cube was consideied the - most elegant and perfect; but that is really suitable only to great halls, and other public rooms. In planning a building, due consideration should be had to the extent of the whole work, in order that the measure of the particular parts may he deter mined by the strictest rules of symmetry and pro portion. _ _ t. s • • . _ - ...._ .- .. _..... - --- ........ - ...,-.0.,,,rmr.....- .• 111 .-•,;.& "16L* 111911.11411111"111112.1111116"'" - . ... . . • .
