Catalogue of Worls on Gardening, ^c, 369 



" Ml*. J. A. Repton and Mr. Blore have both been well initiated in the 

 general principles, as well as the details, of the ancient church architecture of 

 England. From bo\ hood upwards they studied and made numerous drawings 

 of the cathedrals of Norwich, Peterborough, Winchester, York, &c., and 

 thereby acquired a familiar knowledge of the forms, proportions, construction, 

 and manifold details of those magnificent and interesting national edifices. 

 Mr. Eginton, of Worcester, having studied in the same valuable school, lias 

 applied his knowledge in designing and building some good Gothic houses in 

 the neiglibourhood of Bristol. He has also shown much skill in designing a 

 new roof to the chancel of Stratford Church, and in rebuilding parts of a 

 church at Evesham. jNIr. Augustus W. Pugin was fundamentally instructed 

 in all the elements and principles of Gothic architecture in the office of his 

 father, who brought up a class of pupils in that branch of art. Adopting the 

 Roman Catholic creed, and advocating all its dogmas, as well as canons, he 

 has been caressed and patronised by the gentry and clergy of that religion, and 

 thence employed to build and adorn several distinguished edifices. Many 

 other joung architects of the present age have studied this class of buildings 

 so carefully and fully as to be well qualified to design and execute new works 

 in a good style. 



" In Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, many new mansions have been built 

 during the course of the present century, either in the castellated or monastic 

 style of architecture. Those of Scotland are mostly of the first kind, with 

 certain national or local peculiarities in angular and other towers, in parapets, 

 and in the windows. The late Sir Walter Scott expended a large sum of 

 money in building a new house at Abbot, <ifurd, for which he consulted Mr. 

 Atkinson and Mr. Blore, and applied some of his own designs. It was ul- 

 timately a compound of the castle, abbey, college, &c., and was certainly 

 picturesque in its different elevations and in plan."

 plants in the country. There are above a thousand engravings, illustrative of 

 this Supplement, most beautifully executed, and doing the highest credit to 

 Mr. Sowerbv and to Mr. Branston, as the text does to Mr. George Don and
