This is far from being the least useful of ~ 
the works undertaken by our indefatigable 
- -arehitectural antiquary, John Britton, and, 
considered as a-work ‘at once of art and 
utility, the price of the medium copies, at 
least (£1. 11s. 6d.), is far from being ex- 
travagant. Works of this kind could never 
be more opportune : for the rage for archi- 
tectural improvements—the widening of 
" dirty lanes and alleys into splendid streets 
and spacious squares, the erection of public ; 
edifices and sumptuous mansions in town 
and country, with the lamentable deficien- 
cies of taste in some instances displayed 
“by our architects, sufficiently shew that 
sketches of plans and models could never 
be more apposite to the wants of the build- 
ing community. In London, indeed, the 
gothic is not at present the rage ; the Gre- 
cian is to be the object of emulation; and 
Te-edified London is to be, architecturally, 
another Athens. We are glad, by the 
way, to perceive some symptoms that it is 
‘to be real Grecian; that the corrupted, over- 
laboured, imperial style is beginning to be 
laid aside; and of the tea-table style we 
hope we shall see no more. So far, how- 
ever, the present publication (whose models 
are mostly from the gothic) is not exactly 
‘in chime with our metropolitan wants. But 
the gothic, we hope, is not every where to 
be laid aside. We could mention some 
towns where all new edifices and improve- 
ments ought to be in that style ; even in the 
neighbourhood of our own superb Abbey, 
nothing but gothic ought to be permitted 
to intrude or remain. To the lovers of 
this venerable style, the present work of 
Mr. Britton will be particularly accept- 
able ; and we recommend it to the library 
of every architect and patron of architec- 
ture.
