Class XXII.]
from tlio primitive practice of making tiie fire upon tliehearth, it lessened the comfort arising from a proper dis-tribution of heat. When grates were placed so high aslias until very recently been customary, the greater partof the heat evolved passed up the chimney, leaving thelower stratum of air (the coldest part of a room) incontact with the legs and feet. This is obviated by-Sylvester’s plan, which, besides, affords the advantages ofgreater cleanliness, and the facility with which the samegrate cau be adapted to burn either wood or coal. Themetal plate on w hich the fire is made, extending as itdoes from the fire-place to the fender, admits of beinghighly ornamented ; and Messrs. Stuart and Smith haveshown how skilfully they are able to take advantage ofits capabilities in that respect.
The Jury have only to add with regard to this awardand No. 6, "that the fact of their having recommended theaward of Council Medals to two exhibitors of articles inthe same branch of manufacture, must be assumed asevidence of a well-considered opinion that both exhibitorshave pre-eminently- distinguished themselves, though by
the development of different qualities of beauty and ex-! cellence in their several productions.
12. R. W. Winfield (373, pp. 639, C40).—Referencei has already been made to the collection of brass-work1 contributed by this exhibitor, as displaying very perfect1 workmanship with a moderate amount of ornamentation;
; particularly- in the manufacture of metallic bedsteads, forwhich he has earned a deservedly-high reputation. Ilis: improvement in the construction of these by means of a| continuous post which obviates unsteadiness and loosen-! ing of the joints, is deserving of attention, as well as the; twisted, spiral, and plain tapered pillars or tubes ein-1 ployed for that and other purposes, which are producedi in a peculiarly-ingenious manner, invented by one of theworkmen of the establishment.
This house has also had the merit of introducing thecombination of plain opal or coloured glass with brass-, work, by which flowers, blossoms, buds, or leaves in: glass, are made subservient to purposes both of utility and■ ornament, in the manufacture of cornice-pole ends,
1 curtain-holders, door-handles, &c.
