The total outlay of building Fonthill, including furniture, articles of virtu, etc., must have been enormous, not much within the million, as estimated by the \"Times.\" A writer in the \"Athen um\" mentions  400,000 as the sum. Beckford informed Mr. Cyrus Redding, that the exact cost of building Fonthill was  273,000. The distinguishing architectural peculiarity of Fonthill Abbey, was a lofty tower, 280 feet in height.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Beckford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544735332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544735337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.22d","brand":"William Beckford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124779970815,"sku":"9781544735337","price":6.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_897153f1-2b5a-4b2c-bf81-ba7841ad1e29.jpg?v=1687438786","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vathek-william-beckford-9781544735337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
