Not illustrated. 1831 edition. Excerpt: ... many places patching would not do. The roof was too heavy, and by a continual pressure against the abutments had pushed the chief pillars, though eleven foot diameter, six inches out of the perpendicular; it therefore required removal. The tower from summit to foundation was a continued cluster of deformities which no partial changes could alter into elegance; and little seemed sound and good and worthy, save the Corinthian portico built by Inigo Jones, " which being," says Wren, " an entire and excellent piece, gave great reputation to the work in the first repairs, and occasioned fair contributions." He therefore counselled that the restoration should commence by converting the tower into a dome, of which he had prepared the plans. " This will be an absolute piece," he continues, "of itself--will make by far the most splendid appearance; may be of present use for the auditory--make all the external repairs perfect, and become an ornament to his majesty's most excellent reign, to the Church of England, and to this great city, which it is a pity in the opinions of our-neighbours should longer continue the most unadorned of her bigness in the world." Some of the clerical commissioners, however, refused their sanction to the removal of the Gothic tower as well as to the change of the roof, and the architect, in order to increase his own knowledge in art, and give those authorities leisure to grow unanimous, passed into France. This was in the year 1665. " He visited France," says Walpole, " and unfortunately went no farther. The great number of drawings he made there from their buildings had but too visible influence on some of his own; but it was so far lucky for Sir...

Not illustrated. 1830 edition. Excerpt: ...August, 1817, Mrs. Nollekens was relieved from all her sufferings, in the seventyfourth year of her age. The change which the death of this jealous and penurious lady wrought on Nollekens was not uninoticed, it seems, by his household. He received the common condolences of friends---looked doleful--paced up and down his room, and glanced frequently at the empty chair in which his wife had rested for many years. He felt the want of her oompany, and for some time maintained the establishment of his household as she had left it. But old and sinking as he was, his heart, no longer curbed and rebuked in its likings by his sordid partner, began to expa.nd--two moulded candles appeared on his table in room of one--he paid more attention to his dress---drank more wine at table---sat up later at night--lay longer in the morning, and even invited friends to breakfast, dine and sup. He grew more liberal every way--would treat his assistants to a coach into the country' and a dinner--was hospitable to those who had acted as his models---asked them sometimes if a banknote would be useful, and sent them home rejoicing ten pounds richer than they came. All this showed a man not naturally sordid--nor had his decision entirely forsaken him. A servant maid, called. Mary, presuming on her good looks and on the epithet of pretty, which the sculptor gave her in a moment of forgetfulness, ventured, it seems, tn assume haughty airs, and even treat her master roughly. The old man kindled up, turned her unceremoniously away, and declared his determi-nation to be ruler of his own house. His biogra-1 pher alleges that Pretty Mary had a secret attachment to the artist's person or purse, and aspired to be his wife--if so, her way of wooing was as original as...
