Pelham's, in Arlington Street, is as remarkable for magnificence. I do not admire equally the room ornamented with marble and gilding at Kensington. The staircase there is the least defective work of his pencil, and his ceilings in that palace from antique paintings, which he first happily introduced, show that he was not 234 Gbe Garden too ridiculously prejudiced in favor of his own historic compositions. Of all his works, his favorite production was the Karl of Leicester's house, at Holkam, i...n Norfolk. The great hall, with the flight of steps at the upper end, in which he proposed to place a colossal Jupiter, was a noble idea. How the designs of that house, which I have seen a hundred times in Kent's original draw- ings, came to be published under another name, and without the slightest mention of the real architect, is beyond comprehension. The bridge, the temple, the great gateway, all built, I be- lieve, the two first certainly, under Kent's own eye, are alike passed off as the works of another ; and yet no man need envy or deny him the glory of having oppressed a triumphal arch with an Egyptian pyramid.
