ABSTRACT
The Egyptian costume, at best but indifferently understood, is totally laid aside, and style of furniture, drawn from the florid Ionic, is substituted in its stead. The body of the room is to be occupied by a Cenotaph, serving as a writing-table, and at the same time it contains maps of every country in the known world, properly digested; and the whole so arranged as to be fit for inspection without the least trouble or confusion. This admirable invention possesses every other requisite for literary accommodation. The interior decorations of Carleton House, so far as they differ from the Grecian in these parts, are extremely good, and reflect infinite taste on the credit of Mr. Walsh Porter, who in the instance has been enabled to supersede the prejudices of Manufacturers and others who are accustomed to labour in that branch of the Arts.
