If ss) architect of Beauvais had had at his disposal proper resources ci: | materials of sufficient weight and dimension, if he had not fn compelled by want of money to resort to devices beneath i) dignity of his work, he would undoubtedly have erected an solfice without equal, for it is not in the plan and design of evgmvais that there is any defect but only in its execution. sifhe entire Cathedral of Amiens, choir, nave and portals, was folieted by its Bishop and commune in 68 years, 4290-88, while iyears, 1248-1322, were spent at Cologne in the construction of ig) choir only, although that city was then the most flourishing JN. Europe, and its Archbishop the wealthiest and most power- sig) prelate in Germany; consequently it is not astonishing that sro@hould be mBre highly ornamented than that of Amiens. gil st has been pretended that the original plans have been rigo- ~lasly followed in continuing this vast edifice; this conjecture domrobably correct so far as regards the plan but is assuredly very rot from right when the details are taken into consideration.

In bis desire to secure the stability of his vault the oiifhitect has overdone the buttresses which support the apse ; spy are on much too large a scale for what they sustain, and the si «ipir is consequently quite lost amid the buttresses and pinnacles {it surround it. The water-tables all round the building are a) small; this is particularly the case with the W. front. The yilttresses between each bay are carried right up to the glass, odithout moldings to the window jambs, which deprives the design giseperpendicular lines, and increases the horizontal by converting » ¥ arch of each window into a mere discharging arch. The id-teni-blocking up of the windows at the intersection of the nave yr) dd trans. is a miserable device, by no means compensated for by oi 3 increased stiffness thus gained by the angle of the building. sof €e designs of the W. front date only from ¢. 1345; the panel mrtk with which it is covered is very poor; the moldings are yity and shallow, the doorways far too narrow, neither the ziswers nor spires are high enough for their diameter and for the |
