RHENISH ARCHITECTURE.
Part II.
These details of the Swiss buildings are well worthy of the most
attentive consideration, inasmuch as they equal those of Provence or
the ISTorth of Italy in elegance of feeling and design, while they are free
from the classical trammels which so frequently mar their appro-
priateness in those provinces. In Switzerland they are as original as
in Northern Germany, and as picturesque, while they are free from
the grotesqueness that so frequently mars the beauty of even the best
examples in that country.
