A1.saN’s Annu.-With regard to the remark (at-ll S. vi. 499, in the review of Mr. Heatheote Statham’s ‘ Short Critical History of Architecture’) that “ we cannot help feeling somewhat s rised that St. Alban’s Cathedral . . receive merely a passing mention,” I ran, I think, throw some light on the matter. The Abbey is boycotted by the pro- fession because it was restored by Lord, Grimthorpe, a man who, they consider was an amateur, and had no right to undertake such a work. My very egpod friend the late H. F. Turle, a former 'tor of ‘ N. & Q.,’ and an enthusiast about Gothic chu~ch architecture, took the greatest- interest in the restoration, and many a journey did we take together during the progress of the work. I well recollect on one occasion we saw the south wall of the nave so much out of the perpendicular that it was falling outwards. t was then shored u , and was gradually pushed back to its place. One of the nave columns was also so broken and giriilnlg wayso badlythat it had to be tempo ' yencircled with bands. If it had rested with the professional architects to find the hundred thousand pounds required for restoration, the Abbe; would now be a ruin. ann Tnouas. 5 I i ! I » i l Monm.

To their original purpose and use we could have no objection, ut when, as now, an educational value is claimed for them, they become subject to criticism, I do not think I am alone in protesting inst their preservation amongst 0¥hlblt8-

gat do illustrate London and its history.

Their faults are many, and we might ask those responsible for their design _from what authorities they prepared the majority of the buildings. Here are a few errors noted in a rather hurried examination. In “ The Entrance to the Fleet River, l550,” a double draw- bridge is shown in a position that does not. allow of its being identified as either Bride- well or Fleet Bridge, and it would be safer to assume that a high-pitched stone bd? was the means of crossing the stream. t.
