Immediately after I had reconciled my mind to the adoption of this new style at Sezincot, I received the Prince's commands to visit Brighton, and there saw, in some degree realized, the new forms which I had admired in drawings. I found in the gardens of the Pavillon a stupendous and magnificent building, which, by its lightness, its elegance, its boldness of construction, and the symmetry of its proportions, does credit both to the genius of the artist, and the good taste of his royal employer. Although the outline of the dome resembles rather a Turkish mosque than the buildings of Hindustan, yet its general character is distinct from either Grecian or Gothic, and must both please and surprise every one not bigoted to the forms of either.
