COMPARATIVE ARCHITECTURE.

“An Egyptian Princess,” by Georg Ebers. (Historical
Novel.)

Visit the Egyptian Court at the Crystal Palace ; also at the
British Museum study the various kinds of capitals. The
Museum should be visited thoroughly, as it contains a most
complete collection of Egyptian antiquities, which will give
the student a more thorough knowledge of the style than
the reading of many books, and in an infinitely shorter space
of time.
