    • Proceeding “down the Low Pavement, we come to the ASSEMBLY ROOMS, A majestic building in the Corinthian order of architecture, which is not only used for the above purpose, but several private societies hold their meetings within the walls […] Ascending the stairs we enter the large room, which is seventy feet long by thirty broad, with an orchestra capable of containing thirty musicians. […] the room is frequently let for public exhibitions” (108, transcribed in Barker)”
