Side 122 - I take leave, first, to declare I never designed a balustrade. Persons of little skill in architecture did expect, I believe, to see something they had been used to in Gothic structures ; and ladies think nothing well without an edging.
Side 34 - Paul's, pass through the body of the church like a porter, yet presume not to fetch so much as one whole turn in the middle isle, no nor to cast an eye to Si quis door, pasted and plastered up with serving-men's supplications...
Side 36 - Word of God on. We have casements, locks and keys, curtains and cushions — I had almost said bolsters and pillows ; and for these we love the Church. I will not guess what is done within them, who sits, stands, or lies asleep at Prayers, Communion, &c. ; but this I dare say, — they are either to hide some vice, or to proclaim one ; to hide disorder, or to proclaim pride.

Side 122 - Wren, in writing under his hand, set forth, that it is contrary to the principles of architecture, and give his opinion in a fortnight's time; and if he doth not, then the resolution of a balustrade is to be proceeded with.
Side 100 - liberty in the prosecution of his work, to make some variations, rather Ornamental than Essential, as from time to time he should see proper...
Side 66 - Majesty (the design of such a choir at least as may be a congruous part of a greater and more magnificent work to follow), and then for the procuring contributions to defray this we are so sanguine as not to doubt of it, if we could but once resolve what we would do and what that would cost. So that the only part of your letter we demur to is the method you propound of declaring first what money we would bestow and then designing something just of that expense: for quite otherwise, the way their...
Side 121 - The judgment of the surveyor was originally, instead of painting in the manner it ia now performed, to have beautified the inside of the cupola with the more durable ornament of mosaic work, as is nobly executed in the cupola of St. Peter's...
