Bookcases

Plate LX, LXI, LXII.

Are three Library Book-Cases of different forts, with their dimenfions and mouldings all fixed to the defigns. If you have occafion to alter their fizes, it would be well to keep as nigh the fame proportion as poffible; otherwife the upper doors may have but an ill appearance. It would be needlefs to fay any thing more about them, as their forms are fo eafy.

Thofe Book-cases are all intended for glafs doors.

Plate LXXV.

Plate LXXV is a rich Gothic Library Book-Case, with Gothic columns fix'd upon the doors, to open with them; the doors are different, but may be made alike if required. This defign is perhaps one of the best of its kind, and would give me great pleafure to fee it executed, as I doubt not of its making an exceeding genteel and grand appearance; the upper doors are to be glazed.
