COMPARATIVE ARCHITECTURE.

Note.—In the Admiralty and War Office competition, only
one Gothic design was selected for the second com-
petition. This practically publishes the death of the
Gothic style for public buildings. The foundation -of
the South Kensington Museum carried further the
influence of the 1851 Exhibition, by its illustration of
ancient decorative art, and by the atelier which was
there maintained for some years.
