Tavistock

Tavistock. There is an excellent inn here, the only one we ever recollect to have seen without a sign of any kind, or even a name. There are some bookseller's shops in the town, an excellent subscription library, and, what we particularly admired, some new schools and teachers' houses by Mr. Blore, whose style is always simple and grand, and his chimneys high, bold, and free; that is, with their pedestals raised so high as to be freely separated from the roof and side walls. (See Supp. Cott. Arch., p. 1296. art iv.)
