Of buildings where a small amount of stone is introduced into brickwork
we have a good many fine specimens in London. One of the best--probably
the best--is the library in Lincoln's Inn Fields. This is a large and
picturesque pile, built under Mr. Hardwick, as architect, in red brick,
with patterns in the blank parts of the walls done in black brick. It
has splendid moulded brick chimneys, and the mullions of the windows,
the copings, the entrances, and some other architectural features done
in stone. The building is a good reproduction of the style of building
in Tudor times, when, as has been already mentioned, brickwork was taken
into favor.

Another building of the same class, but not so good, is the older part
of the Consumption Hospital, at Brompton. Brickwork, with a little
stone, has been very successfully employed as the material for churches,
and in many such cases the interior is of unplastered brickwork. Such
churches often attain, when designed by skillful hands, great dignity
and breadth of effect. St. Albans, Holborn; the great church designed by
Mr. Butterfield, in Margaret street; Mr. Street's church near Vincent
square, Westminster; and several churches of Mr. Brooks', such as he was
kind enough to enable me to illustrate tonight, may be mentioned as
examples of the sort. Mr. Waterhouse has built an elaborate
Congregational church at Hampstead, which shows the use with which such
effects of color may be obtained in interiors, and has kindly lent some
drawings. Mr. Pearson's church at Kilburn may also be referred to as a
fine example of brick vaulting. Brick and terra cotta seem to have a
natural affinity for one another. Terra cotta is no more than a refined
brick, made of the same sort of material, only in every respect more
carefully, and kiln baked. Its similarity to brick is such that there is
no sense of incongruity if moulded or carved brickwork and terra cotta
are both employed in the same building, and this can hardly be said to
