 Pug Dog. Small toy dog of the 

 mastiff group. It somewhat sug- 

 gests a diminutive bulldog, from 

 which it has probably been derived 

 by a long process of degeneration. 

 It is believed to be of Dutch origin, 

 and was introduced into Great 

 Britain in the time of William of 

 Orange, being known as the Dutch 

 pug. Its skull is broad, with a very 

 short muzzle, the tail curls and lies 

 close to the body, and the hair is 

 very short and usually fawn- 



Pue Dog. Champion specimen of 

 the breed of to; dogs 



coloured or black. One of its essen- 

 tial points is a black mole on each 

 cheek, with a tuft of hairs growing 

 from it. The pug is probably the 

 most indolent of all dogs and loves 

 to be pampered, for which reason it 

 has a great tendency to put on fat.

 Bom in London, March 1,1812, he 

 was educated 

 at Christ's 

 Hospital and 

 studied under 

 his father, Au-

 early days be 

 was employed 

 on stage scen- 

 ery and other 

 ventures, but 

 soon turned to architecture, and 

 having embraced Roman Catholic- 

 ism, designed many churches for 

 that' communion. When the new 

 houses of parliament were project- 

 ed, he was called upon by Barry to 

 provide the whole of the detail 

 drawings. His alleged responsibil- 

 ity for the general design was the 

 subject of sharp controversy. 



Pugin lived at Salisbury and then 

 at Ramsgate, building in the latter 

 town a house and a church of his 

 own, and indulging his favourite 

 recreation of sailing. He ever in- 

 sisted that Gothic was the only 

 Christian style of building, and 

 published his critical Contrasts ; 

 or a Parallel between the Architec- 

 ture of the 15th and 19th centuries, 

 1836, and The True Principles of 

 Christian Architecture, 1841. In 

 the last year of his life he became 

 insane through overwork, and he 

 died at Ramsgate, Sept. 14, 1852.
