Notes
This window may be compared with Adam vol.7/172, and like it with those shown in the upper storey of the theatre elevation in Adam vol.7/170.
The first parliament of the reign of George III began in 1760 and this theatre scheme belongs to that period, and is probably contemporary with James Adam's Parliament House scheme of 1762/63; like that scheme it may have been begun before he left London for Italy in 1760.
