Notes
Like Adam vol.9/39, this drawing is an academic exercise that has been set out in black and red chalk and then overdrawn by Robert Adam in pen as a smaller scheme. There are other academic exercises of a similar nature in Adam vol.9/18 and 19. The elevation found in Adam vol.9/189, showing sketches of temples, provides the probable scale for this type of plan.
