These strange and extravagant distortions are rather of the time of James I. and subsequent reigns, to which period the staircase at Crewe Hall and Hatfield, Herriot sH ospital, Edinburgh, and other similar compositions, may be assigned. The question as to our possession, or rather our non-possession, of a national A rchitecture, appears now to be settled. We have successively followed the example of the Germans, the I talians, afld he t3W eks he first, the importation of times of rude society9 and monftsheeltision; the second, the introduction (from Jtpbf source fretn which alone it could at that time be drawV rJ fevivipg faste for elegance and learning among us; the I asT the? result ef every combination of fortunate circumstances; the power given to our artists and the wealthy members of our community to visit the classic shores of Greece, and to those at home to improve their taste by the frequent contemplation of portions of Grecian buildings at theB ritish Museum. That these united causes will have the effect of establishing their constant preference for all public buildings is the hope and confident expectation of the Author of these pages. 2, Porchester Place, Connaught Square.
