Hort.) and the next in order by us in Remarks on the Construction of Hot-houses, &c. 1817. A year be- fore (1816) we had invented a wrought-iron sash-bar, the section of which (fig. 252. a) is not more than half an inch wide, and a half bar (fig. 252. b) equally light (a specimen of both of which was presented to the Hort. Soc. in May 1816.); and in 1818 we completed a considerable erection of glass roofs at Bayswater (Jig. 253.), on the curvilinear principle, the first, we believe, attempted in Britain. The object of such a junction of different curvatures in the Bayswater example is to show, Mackenzie's plan, 252 pd.
