proportion to their breadth as in England, so that they losethat perspective effect afforded by the long vista of arcadeswhich forms so beautiful a feature in our cathedrals. Anotherdistinguishing characteristic in the foreign churches isafforded in the magnificence of the grand fagades, of whichfull one moiety is occupied by the portal. In our worksthe entrance is of small dimensions, and is subservient tothe window above it, but in theirs it forms the principalobject, being splayed from the door to the exterior surfaceof the wall, and the space thus formed, occupied with columns.
