I do not believe that any mortal can find real enjoyment in standing and gazing at a huge square house, with a great wagon roof, and with square holes cut in a great level blank wall for windows. It may draw a certain grandeur from vast size : and it may pos- sess fine accessories, — be shadowed by noble trees, backed by wild or wooded hills, and shaded off into the fields and lawns by courtly terraces ; but the big square box is in itself ugly, and never can be any- thing but ugly. But how lon...g and delightedly one can contemplate the worthy Gothic house of similar pre- tension — ■ with its lights and shadows, its irregular sky- line, its great mullioned bay-windows and its graceful oriels perched aloft, its many gables, its wreathed chim- neys, its towers and pinnacles, its hall and chapel boldly shown on the external outline: — for the characteristic of Gothic is, that it frankly exhibits construction, and makes a beauty of the exhibition ; while the square-box archi- tecture aim3 at concealing construction, — producing the four walls, pierced with the regular rows of windows, quite irrespective of internal requirements, and then con- AND COUNTRY LIFE.
