The third division is next Bell-yard:  it is subdivided into two parts.  In the first of these are three entrances from Bell-yard.  That in the centre is exclusively for the members; that to the left leads to the staircase to the Secretary’s apartments; and the other, to the right of the centre, is for strangers to enter who have business to transact in any of the rooms appropriated to public business.  On the ground floor of this part of the third division is a large Committee Room, and an ante or waiting room adjoining, and the great staircase to the rooms above.  On the first floor are the rooms for meetings on matters of business connected with the law; and above these are the Secretary’s apartments.

The second part of the third division contains, on the ground floor, the Club Room, which occupies all the ground floor:  it will be divided by columns and pilasters of scagliola, and decorated with a paneled ceiling and appropriate ornaments.  Its dimensions are fifty feet by twenty-seven, and eighteen feet high.  On the first floor are rooms of different dimensions for dinner parties; and over these, rooms for the resident officers.  In the basement story of this part of the building are the Kitchen and other domestic offices for the use of the Club.

The office for the deposit of deeds is in the basement story, next to Chancery-lane.

In the remaining parts of the basement story of the building are fifty-two strong rooms, with iron doors, for the deposit of deeds, which are well ventilated and fire-proof; their average size is six feet and a half by seven feet and a half, but some are larger, and others rather less, than these dimensions.  The whole are secured by one double iron door, with a very strong lock and master-key.

    [1] In our last we erroneously stated the whole of this building as
        the work of Messrs. Lee, for L9,214.; only part of the carcase,
        containing the Hall, Library, &c. being contracted for by those
        builders for the above sum.  Other contracts have since been made
        for the completion of the building; of these, the principal is
        with Messrs. Baker and Son (the builders of the King’s library
        and new galleries of the British Museum, &c.) who have executed
        the beautiful finishings of the interior:  these contracts amount
        to upwards of L12,000.

Other contracts have been made with the above parties for the erection of the Club House, and Dining Rooms, &c., situate in Bell Yard, which is an addition subsequently made to the original building.

    [2] The best remains of Ionic buildings at Athens are the temples of
        Erecthens and Minerva Pulias in the Acropolis, and the little
        temple on the banks of the Ilissus; but in Asia Minor the examples
        of this order are far more numerous; and some of the finest are to
        be found amongst the magnificent ruins at Brauchidia, at Priene,
        and at Teos, &c.
