for a Town Hall, or Corinthian, appropriate for a Dancing Hall; &c The style is a sort of modification of the Gothic, properly called the Romaic a favorite of the said Upjohn, and like the Gothic peculiarly appropriate for the house of God. Every cities' taste I believe assigns the Gothic with its pointed arches, its shadowy isles, it high windows, its spires piercing the skies, as the perfection of taste for the Temple of the Christian God.
