the happieft unity of effect •, and this without any 

 cermination : The conciufion in the balluftrade 

 would have been one of a mod elegant fimplr- 

 city •, — but the dome rather hurts the general 

 effed: : befides, it is not equally beautiful with the 

 reft of the building •, its being ribbed too much 

 divides the attention of the fpectator, and the 

 pediments around, which fupport the urns, are 

 heavy. 



The infide is a circular domed room, of forty- 

 eight feet diameter, and fixty high. The dome, 

 the upper and lower cornices, and the furround- 

 ing arches, are light and elegant, but the crofs 

 work of compartments fomewhat break the effect; 

 nor are the ionic pillars at bottom well propor- 

 tioned to the room ; they are too fmall, and 

 without effecft. 



In the Picture-Gallery are many pieces that 

 are very capital. Thole which plealed me molt 

 are the following;. 



Holbein. Sir Thomas Bodley. Very fine. 

 Unknown . King Alfred. Good. 



William of Wickham. Very fpirited. 

 William Wainfleet, Bifhop of Win- 

 chefter. Good. 

 Holbein. Sir Thomas Pope. A moil noble por- 

 trait ; the face and hands admirable, 

 and the drapery good. 



Unknown.
