Eire Is the only thtng which destroys them ami their Irrepla cable art treasures. Hut they generally rise now. even more splendid than of oW All through this reign stars of the first, second and third magnitude have constantly been added to the country-houses firmament. Tnos-- built early In Ihe " *os" and " '.'Os ' were more remarkable for slxe and a weak and unintelligent endeavor to reproduce "Oothlc” architecture, of which the de signers understood neither the principle nor Its place In domestic architecture. It ts not yet abandoned, perhaps be’aUS* Pugin and others mastered Its meaning and use and made It live again. Hut thoungh Eaton Hall, h house of toe tlrit magnitude, represents the vitality of this Style, the greater number of the more modern English palaces are either purely R. nalssanee or very much Influenced hy the Italian feeling Here and there we And a huge French chateau like Wad desdon. or a Ptantagenet fortress r.pro duced. like Dord Pcrrhyn’s castle of Hangor. or a mixture of ecclesiastical styles, like the spires and the Bridgwater Canal. Hut In the vast majority of cases the very wealthy English, whether landed proprietor# or magnates of commerce or trad*-, have been Arm and faithful to the lessons brought fr.m beyond the Alps. Our country gentlemen looked, tn truth, rot to the men. hut to the style, or to what had lieen done glsewherw, and Irust <<l to the style and d# model# to keep the men up to the mark. The result Is tht the country Is covered with these Italian or Itallan'glng palaces, nenrly all good and Imposing and full of true proportion and often most beautiful. Between the elegance of Dord Kbury's white palace at Moor Park and the gray freestone porticos of Hrodsworth. the Thellusson * Yorkshire house or the colonnades of Blenheim or Castle Howard, or the towers of Mentmore, there Is an Infinite variety. Hut though all do nnt rise to the flrst rank of design, very few- fall below whit In an Internationa! competition would b oonsldt red a very sufficient standard of merit. Bl*e. one of the postulates of architectural success, they all have, and the structural excellence, ns we have said before. Is beyond cavil. The maxim that house# were built to live In. not to look at. suggests falsely that a building which Is Impcelng wbhout i* uncomfortable within There coul I he no greater error Judged by th* Kng'lsh country p.ilaee# The Interiors are hetutl ful. habitable and. unlike the pnlares of any other country, are furnished. Km a like Henry VIII. and Queen# Ilk- Elisa beth were not above being proud of their furniture their tap-stry and even their beds, and had all thas.- things duly en tered In their records. There Is • much possible art In IVr-lan carpet# nod hang ings as In glass or mosaics: but though these things do make a groat difference io the Interiors of house . and a high standard Is valuable evidence cf the national last*. It la not greatly more n fvldenc* In the .palaces of England than In Ihe general average of emal er hou*e. Hut the slxe of Ihe room- and the gen. <ral scale of the Interior do preserve one branch of domestic architecture which would olherw IYe diotppear. The p-rminent decoration of Ihe r<m-> and galleries Is different from that used tn a '’hou-e.” It Is far more brilliant In color Pure colors, sobered by gold, ran I e used, and are used, with mn-t admirable effc t fo can sculpture end reliefs it Is only In these house* that Ihe more magnificent style of #cofittlon Is fours!
