Section G.— 1. In Architecture.
The Juiy having been directed to include architecturalmodels in the range of their inquiries, were naturally ledto reflect upon, and then to feel it a most agreeable dutyto acknowledge publicly, the merit of the Building inwhich they met. The originality of the construction,and the rapidity with which it has been carried to com-pletion would, in comparatively recent times, have in-duced popular enthusiasm to ascribe to fairy agency thepower of overcoming obstacles hitherto considered to beinsurmountable by human ingenuity. The noble sim-plicity of the whole edifice, the striking grandeur of itsproportions, the novel and ingenious application of thematerials of which it is constructed, and the admirableadaptation of all its parts to their multifarious purposes,gave to the person who conceived it, as well as to thosewho, with so much zeal and success, carried out the con-structor’s design, a right to the highest award in thepower of the Jury to recommend. The Jury had, there-fore, the honour to propose that a Council Medal beawarded to Mr. Joseph Paxton , and a similar Medal toMessrs. Fox and Henderson. And although the Juryhad already rendered justice to the claims of Mr. OwenJones, by awarding him a Prize Medal for his chromo-lithography, they felt it to be their duty to record heretheir opinion of the advantages resulting to the Buildingfrom the simple and tasteful style of decoration whichMr. Owen Jones has so skilfully suggested and so suc-cessfully applied.
