There are three distinct classes of eating houses and
each has its model type. Linneus would probably
classify them as S~eenyOrum Browniverous and
Delmonican. The Sweonyorum is but extension
downward Of the Browniverous which have already
described The chief difference to be noted beween
the two is that while at Browns the walters actually do
pass by you within hail and thon at Sweenoys no
such phenomenon by any possibility occurs. The
room is laid out ike the floor OF a church with tables
and benches for four in place of pews Along the aisles
