Bayham Abbey, windows

This, it may be objected, is in character with those houses which GRAY describes as having 'Windows that exclude the light, And passages that lead to nothing.' Yet I trust these passages will be found no less useful than magnificent; they lead to the several rooms, which form a complete suite of apartments, consisting of eating-room, breakfast-room, drawing-room, and library. The rooms all open by windows to the floor on a terrace, which may be enriched with orange-trees and odoriferous flowers, and will form one of the greatest luxuries of modern, as well as one of the most magnificent features of ancient habitation.
