They make no difficulty of moving dwellings from one part of the town to another.

Those I saw travelling were all of them frame-houses, that is, built wholly of wood, except the chimneys; but it is said that brick buildings are sometimes treated in the same manner.

The largest dwelling that I saw in motion was one containing two stories of four rooms each; forty oxen were yoked to it.

The first few yards brought down the two stacks of chimneys, but it afterwards went on well.

The great difficulties were the first getting it in motion and the stopping exactly in the right place.
