Notes
Drawing 80 for the bedroom floor seems to be more up-to-date than say drawing 62 (January 1809). The best dressing room remains much the same as when it was first roughed out in July 1797 (drawing 10 verso) and in a survey plan of 1808 (drawing 40) though in drawing 80 it is (internally) more fully circular and the lobby outside is now semicircular on plan.
