ON MOVING HOUSES.  
Let the houses be moved and arranged in order; and this will be done  
with facility because such houses are at first made in pieces on the  
open places, and can then be fitted together with their timbers in  
the site where they are to be permanent.  
[9] Let the men of the country [or the village] partly inhabit the  
new houses when the court is absent [12].  
[Footnote: On the same page we find notes referring to Romolontino  
and Villafranca with a sketch-map of the course of the "Sodro" and  
the "(Lo)cra" (both are given in the text farther on). There can  
hardly be a doubt that the last sentence of the passage given above,  
refers to the court of Francis I. King of France.--L.9-13 are  
written inside the larger sketch, which, in the original, is on the  
right hand side of the page by the side of lines 1-8. The three  
smaller sketches are below. J. P. R.]  
II. Plans for canals and streets in a town.  
Pl. LXXIX, 1. and 2, (MS. B, 37b, see No. 745, and MS. B. 36a, see  
No. 746). A Plan for streets and canals inside a town, by which the  
cellars of the houses are made accessible in boats.
