A writer on Slavery has no difficulty in tracing back its origin. There is also the advantage of finding it, with its continued history, and the laws given by God to govern his own institution, in the Holy Bible. Neither profane history, tradition, nor philosophical research are required to prove its origin or existence.

Description

In modern usage, a cottage is a modest dwelling, typically in a rural, or semi-rural location (although there are cottage-style dwellings in cities). In the United Kingdom, the term cottage tends to denote a rurally- (sometimes village-) located one-and-a-half story property, where on the second (upstairs floor) one has to walk into the eaves in order to look through the windows, which are generally located in dormers (the sort of dwelling that some Americans call a Cape Cod). This sometimes means that the eave timbers intrude into the actual living space, and quite often, especially in recent renovations, the relevant timbers (purlins, rafters, posts, etc) can be exposed enhancing the cottage experience. However, in most other settings, the term "cottage" denotes a small, often cosy dwelling, and small size is integral to the description, but in other places such as Canada, the term exists with no connotation of size at all (cf. vicarage or hermitage). In Soutern Ontario, Canada, the term "cottage" usually refers to a vacation/summer home, often located near a body of water.

Description

The coming together of the forces of mountainous landscapes and architecture finds a unique expression in the chalet cottage. The singularity of location captures the imagination of architects and designers with spectacular houses and unusual interiors. Light-flooded rooms with giant panoramic windows may be juxtaposed with archaic forms; homey parlours contrast against unusual implementation of stone and concrete.
