The presence of dirt, where all but itself is clean, is most notorious; squalid misery interposed amid 'splendour, is distinguished as more than commonly miserable; and beholders cannot but find their sentiments of admiration at this, painfully interming. gled with feelings of disgust at that. A strong sense of propriety has long been the character of the British nation; our private houses afford more conveniencies than most, of only equal pretensions, on the Continent; our cottages have an air of neatness, which contributes essentially to that idea of Whether it be in the human mind, a comfort, which reference to their inha natural weakness, or a valuable endow-bitants excites in the mind, ment, whether it be the effect of education, or of want of education, certain it is, that' appearances maintain a great sway' over opinion. Those to whom appearances of splendor, and magnificence, are new, can hardly preserve their faculties from a kind of stupor, caused by a power, the principles of which they do not disceru; those who are accustomed to such instances, more closely examine the causes, and more intelligently admire the skill.

They were usually so discoloured by smoke, that not a gus could be made at the effect intended by their architects, as to light and shade, Soon after the accession of his present Majesty, to the throne, a better spirit began to shew itself. A disposition to improve the Metropolis, gradually pervaded the inhabitants, and the nation; and several ingenious men contributed their assistance, by remonstrance, by proposals, by arguments of various kinds, which, at length, produced effects, the benefits of which are enjoyed 8 C |
