through each corner of the wall, and let eight
stewards' residences—for estate steward,
steward of works, &c.—be placed outside the
crust of the park, one at each corner, and
one on each side. Line the whole crust or
fortifying boundary on its inside to the north,
facing the south, with a conservatory for
tropical plants, &c., that shall enclose twenty
acres; line it to the south, facing the north,
with a conservatory of the same size for
"cold-natured vegetation." These walls are to be
thus graced by the labours of nature. Line
the whole crust, or fortifying boundary on
its inside to the west, facing the east, with
workshops for delicate handicraft; to the
east, facing the west, with workshops for
rougher operations. These walls are to be
thus graced by labours of man; and a display
both of nature and of art will thus be made
to form the inner lining of your park.

Take four hotels, adapted for the rich, and
place them in your park, on four sites facing
the four corner entrances, but at a little
distance from them. Take two great factories
and place them in your park, before the east
and west walls, opposite to each other, each
factory being situated between two grand
hotels; let one factory be for light departments,
and the other for heavy departments
of labour. These represent manufacturing
interests. On the two sides of your park left
vacant north and south, place arable and
pasture land in patches; namely, one hundred
acres of arable farm-land in a square
patch to the north, and one hundred acres of
pasture land and horticultural grounds to the
south, for model farming, &c. These represent
agricultural interests. Between the
factories and farm lands then will be indicated
a large central square, open at all corners,
which you now proceed to fill. Take four
square buildings for baths and wash-houses;
for bake-house, brew-house, butchery, and
mill; for store-houses, shops, and bazaars:
garnish with these at the four corners opposite
the corner entrances into this inner square.
Take now a thousand cottages, and enclose
therewith an innermost square or lawn, upon
which, and over the whole park, sprinkle
shrubs and trees of every kind that will
grow in this climate. Let the rows of
cottages which form the square leave every
corner open, and let the rows north and
south be parted in the middle, and leave
space for two square refreshment halls accessible
on all sides and adapted, one to the
means of the poor, and one to the means of
the middle-classes. Upon the innermost lawn,
within the square formed by the thousand
cottages and the two refreshment halls, place
a new Crystal Palace—to be used as a Free
College—into which put, as seasoning, a thousand
boys. In the central dome of the new
palace, and as the very pith and centre of
your park, let there be an assembly hall for
oratorios and for select dramatic and other
entertainments. Warm the whole with a
good fire of cash, and add to it the sauce ot
public favour.

As our friend says, underlining what he
says, "This is the project,"—and we will let
him expatiate upon it in the words prompted
by his own enthusiasm. "To form a really
attractive resort for all the world—a resort
for the wise, for the wealthy, for the inquiring
poor man, for the apostle of human redemption,
for the marvel-loving, and for the
pleasure-seeking. The arts and sciences
should here find full development and illustration.
The most accomplished workmen
should be voted in by local committees, and
the same committees should introduce talented
boys who would otherwise go through the
world with only a rough tug. A thousand
boys are admitted; a thousand accomplished
workmen ply their functions, and live in the
tenements marked ten "—(ten refers to a
plan with which we have been honoured from
the hand of the proprietor). "Each lodges
a pupil. Those pupils start in their training
at one end of the college (under literary
professors), and complete ' schooling ' at the
other end. This during two and a half
years. The boy's fitness" (we feel called upon
to copy the italics and all that is most
minute in the exposition of so grand a
scheme-fitness) " or aptitude has been discovered,
and he is assigned to a department
accordingly. The opposite side to
that in which he has been schooled is the
experimental or illustrative department. A
term of two and a half years more in the
working department finishes his education.
The slightest breach of pure morals being
punished with instant expulsion, those who
go through the five years' training exhibit
to the world unexceptionable models of
working men, and their thorough accomplishment
(of skill and character) will be commanding
anywhere. The end of the five
years realises a grand international exhibition;
but the galleries and the avenues below
afford a perpetual exhibition. The grand
feature in the palace would be its assembly
hall—the crescent having amphitheatre
constructions—machinery underground at
the entrance to the west avenue raising
planks of different heights, to form stages
or an orchestra, whilst the productions of
R. A.'s form the stage decorations and
scenery. The royal box to be a superb
structure at the entrance to the east avenue;
the dress boxes to be in tiers on each side of
the Queen's. The electric light to be supplied
from the fountain in the centre, and, suspended
above, a powerful organ, and accommodation
for a full band."

This is the scheme that we are empowered
to make known to the public, and we are
also authorised by the projector to state that
if, when he is settled in Australia, "he should
have the good luck to buy an estate there,
he would endeavour to effect this project."
If we have been disposed to smile in the
