Mr. SOANE laSt cOtiClooll UM 'series of
Lectures on Architecture for the present year
-• • •
The Lecture, on this occasion, was such a tren•
sure of learning, taste,-and seience, that we can-
not pretend to give more than a very faint outline
of its general and various merits: He commenced
with some remarks On' ENTABWITURES;•over CO.
111111 its and Pilasters. The oext topic Was ARCHES ;
and here he displayed a vast extent of professional
knowledge, edverting to the first rude Efforts at
this brunch of the Science, which he deemed as
great en achievement of the human mind as the
discoveve thelaws of gravitation, the circuits-
.riOn. of the ',fond, the• works of Gsw.ers.
These incipient efforts at the formation
he observed, were discoverable.in the excavations
of the Indians, Egyptians, and the early (reeks. He
then ntentioned the Bridge over the Euphrates, the
Entrance to:tlit* Pyramid of Egypt, to Paestum;
and, recurring more piirtienlarly to Bridges, noticed
that at fipsfm, Unite of Loyang andKingting,
in China, at Nartii, Trajan's neer. the Danube,
Caesar's, that at Brionde in Auvergne, Blackfriars
and. Westminster Bridges, on all 'of which he
made appropriate remarks, which we cannot pre-
tend to follow. lie p3rticularly mentioned the
Bridge over the .Conway, by INtoo 3oN KS. Pro-
ceeding to Mimes and Cupolas; he noticed those
of the Pantheon, the Temple of Minerva, the
Bath's of Dioclesian awl at St. Remi, also at Re-;
venna, tire Basilica of Hercules, or Mausoletim
nt Theodoric., The Learned ProfesSor' prkeeded
to the consideration of Spires, the Obelisks of
Egypt, Steeples, the Gothic Spire of St. Michael,
Coventry, Steeple of St. Dunstan, &c. &c. He next
adverted to 114ses in Pediments. of Porticos, no-
ticing the tops of Roofs, its ai St. Martin's-in-
t St. George Hanover-square, and St. Leo.
nard ShorediTtch.,
.After a variety of rematks
oat
many similar structures, alluding to the wnt
k 9 of
PALLADIO, INIGOJoNES, li.ENT,&C: and on the con-
struction of stair-cases, the Professor held up to
ridicule the unapproptiate ornaments used in mo•
Bern times, by the application' of anckitt, symbols
in the decoration of Palaces, Courts of Justice,
P'riso'ns, and eves' tit,4 exterior of Shop Windows,
such as Serpents, Fish, Griffins, &c. &c.
Pursuing and illustrating these matters to a consi-
derable extent, lie then animadverted on the dif-
ficulties attending the Profession:Of Architecture,
the difference between Theory and Practice, esta-
blishing the distinction between Architects, Me-
amities, and Bnilders-; touching upon the ex-
pectations of Employers, rind the disappoint-
ments of the Emptoyed, he cOmmentell on
Workmanship, Magnificence, and "Design, ,pro-
Inking in a future series of Lectures. to advert to'
Compositionir Cotratruction, and Decoration.—'
Towards_ the concinsion Mr. Soatie made an af-,
feeting reference to domestic eiremnstaneeS, ,that
had prevented him from baring all his drastino,
which are of the,most, beautiful and valuable de-
scription, arranged in itis.bouse for the gretifica7

for a full and. (fervent- vita, of Iris whole collec-
tion. On this point be adverted.to some ,anony,
