clmrclies allcjw 20 inches l)y 34 inclies for eacli sitting; free seats 20 inches by 27 inches,
and 14 inches for children. Benches for fjee sittings are to he 3 feet, 4 'eet 6 inches, or
G feet long. The allowance made for each sitting in St. Paul's Cathedral is, as nearly as
possible, 20 inches bv 33 inches. From 4 to .5 square feet of floor is not too much space to
be calculated for each person, allowing for gangways, commimion table, &c.

bell-wheels and carriages, luflFer or louvre boards, fencing, screens, pulpits, di'sks. lecterns,
chests, tables, cum multis aliis, are amongst the many other productions of the joiner, being
far too numerous to be described in detail herein.
FORMATION OF BODIES BV JOINING THEM WITH GLUE.
2193. The way in which bodies are glued up together for different purposes will l)
given below, and with them will close this section.
2194. Fig. 789. shows at A a section of two boards glued up edge to edge. At B the
face of the same is seen. C shows the section of two boards glued edge to edge, each
piece being grooved, and a tongue inserted at their junction. By similar means a board may
be increased to any width, be the pieces whereof it is composed ever so narrow. D shows
two boards fixed at right angles, the edge of one being glued on the side of the other. A
block for the purpose of strengthening the joint is fitted and glued to the interior side.

2195. Fig. 790. A is a section of two boards to be joined at an oblique angle. They
are mitred and glued together with a block at the angle. B shows the inner sides of
the boards so fixed. It is by repeating this operation that columns are glued up.
2196, Fig. 791. A is the section of an architrave. The moulding is usually, if not
alwavs, glued to the board ;
the vertical line therefore, showing the extreme boundary u(
the moulded part, is the sec-

B is the face of the archi-

and front of it before it is
moidded, E a section of it
with the button and nail to
show the way in which the
two parts are glued together,
and F shows the back of the
architrave with the
buttons
which are used for the pur-
pose of bringing the two sur-
faces to be o-lued together in contact, till after they are set and fully held together, being
knocked off when the
glue has become hard, and then the moulding shown at A and B is
stuck. 1

hibits the method of
gluing up a solid niche
in wood where A is
the elevation. The
work is performed in
the same way as if it
were stone or brick,
except that the joints
are all parallel to the
plane of the base, be-
cause of the difficulty
of making a joint with
curved surfaces, which
would necessarily be
the ease if they all
tended to the centre of
the sphere. B and C
