CHAPTER 1 - Notes

[17]. See Steel, H. R., and Yerbury, F. R., The Old Bank of England, London, 1930, for photographic coverage of this monument of which the interiors were largely destroyed in the 1920s, and even the exterior considerably—and unnecessarily—modified (see Chapter [24]).

[18]. See Britton, J., Illustrations of Fonthill Abbey, London, 1823; Rutter, J., An Illustrated History and Description of Fonthill Abbey, Shaftesbury, 1823; and Storer, J., A Description of Fonthill Abbey, Wiltshire, London, 1812. The most extensive modern account of the building of Fonthill Abbey is given by Brockman, H. A. N., The Caliph of Fonthill, London [1956].

[20]. Hussey in The Picturesque lists many of these books and gives good examples of their illustrations.

[21]. First, that is, in this period. The columnar Monument in the City of London by Robert Hooke, commemorating the Great Fire, dates from the 1670s.

[22]. See Telford, T., An Account of the Improvements of the Port of London, London, 1801. Splendid later examples also survive in Liverpool, built by the Corporation engineer Jesse Hartley (1780-1860); see Waldron, J., ‘Measured Drawings of the Albert Dock Warehouses in Liverpool’, Architectural History, IV (1961), 103-16.

[30]. The idea probably originated with Soufflot, who had earlier proposed a similar plan for the cathedral of Rennes.

[37]. Kaufmann, who illustrates the Belanger project in Architecture in the Age of Reason, figure 169, dates it around 1808 on the ground that slaughterhouses first began to be built in Paris in that year. It is extremely unlikely, of course, that Hansen ever saw this project; but the similarity of his tower to Belanger’s indicates how closely he was in tune with his French contemporaries. In any case similar towers are to be found in the projects published by Durand in his Précis of 1802-5, which Hansen must have known (see Chapter [2]).
