Remarks upon the proposed destruction of the tower of the Parish Church of St. John, Hampstead

by Sir George Gilbert Scott

FOOTNOTES.

[7] The inclination southward, estimated at ½″ or ¼″ of an inch, is too trivial to need remark.

[13] It was the plan of the ancient St. Peter’s as it is that of the present church.

[14] “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.”

[15] I hope, however, we may be spared those wretched translations of Gothic tracery into classic, formed by two semicircles supporting a circle, by which some of Wren’s finest churches have lately been disfigured.
