FAMOUS CHURCH OF LONDON
Bsyard Taylor Considered ST. PauPs
Cathedral One Of the Worlds
Architectural Marvels.

"St. Paurs is on a scale Of grandeur
excelling everything I have yet seer" :"
writes Bayard Taylor Of his first trip
abroad In 1874 The dome seems to
stand in the sky, as you look at 1t;
the distance from which you view 1t,
combined with the atmosphere of Lon
don, gives It a dim, shadowy appear
ance that startles one with its I'M
menSity. The roof from which the
dome springs is itself as high as the
spires Of most other churches; black
ened for 500 years with the coal smoke
of London il stands like relic Of the
giant architecture Of the early world.
THE interior is what one would
expect to behold. after viewing the
outside. A maze of grand arches
on every side encompasses the dome,
at which you gaze up as at the sky.
l was never more impressed at the
grandeur of human invention than
when ascending the dome. | could
with difficulty conceive the means by
which such a mighty edifice had been
lifted into the air The dome is like
the summit of a mountain so wide is
the prospect and so great the pile upon
which you stand"
