CHURCH OF ST. JAMES'S, PICCADTL Vt.—The
gegh;.ectural student will do well to pay an early vba to the
church of St. James's, Piccadilly, newly re-decorates, and
never seen to greater advantage since its first ejection. Some
of the ornante4ts, it is true, arc Matted with white-wash and
paint, but the wh,ole structure has gained in general light-
ness and effect. A new altar-rail, of marble, has been made,
and the rich foliage of Grinling Gibbons. which surrounds
the Commandments, cleaned and repaired with taste and
skill, thmlgh it was unfortunately found nemssary to take
from its crispness by a fresh coat of paint. Wrea speaks of
this church with more than his usual enthusiasm. ' I can
hardly think it practicable," he says, "to make a single
room so capacious, with pews and galleries, as to hold above
2,000 persons, and all to hear the service, and both to hear
distinctly and see the preacher. I endeavoured to effect this!
in building the church of St. James's, Westminster, which I
presume is the most capacious with these qualifications, that
hath yet been built, and yet at a solemn time, when the
church was much crowded, I could not discern from a gal-
lery that 2,000 persons were present in the church I men-
tion, though very broad and the nave arched up. And yet,
as there are no walls of a second order, nor lantern, nor
buttresses, but the whole roof rests upon the pillars, as do
also the galleries, I think it may be found beautiful and
convenient, and as such the cheapest form of any I could in-
vent." The font, by Grinling Gibbons, in this church, is
well known, but not so the fact (recently discovered) that
Gibbons was born, not as is supposed by Walpole and others,
in Spur-alley, in the Strand, but at Rotterdam, on the 4th
of April, 1648. We may add that the church re-opens for
Divine Service to-morrow, and that Mr. Wailes's window
looks extremely fine.
