There was a tendency, both in England and Scotland, for government officials and municipal engineers to keep to themsefves the privilege and duty of designing the more important public buildings that were constantly being erfcted. Architecture Improved Now. although these buildings. with architecture generally in the country, had vastly improved or late years, and had reached a very fair standard of aiti merit, yet so long as this practice wss maintained they would never snow more than mediocrity, for the simple reason that no architect with a spark of genius would be content to spend his official life in a government or municipal office.
