[65]. As has been noted in Chapter 2, both de Chateauneuf and Meuron studied with Leclerc.
[66]. The history of this project is very complicated. As might be surmised from its character, a design was at one point prepared by Gilbert, the principal Louis Philippe architect for this sort of work. The actual construction of the Hôtel Dieu by Diet followed only after a decade of changes of plan, yet the executed work probably incorporates something of Gilbert’s design; in any case, what was built is still wholly in the spirit of Gilbert’s Louis Philippe work and not at all in that of the Second Empire (see Chapter [8]). Diet was Gilbert’s son-in-law.
[67]. Begun by John Harvey, continued by Thomas Hardwick, and completed by Sir Robert Smirke.

CHAPTER 4 - Notes
[72]. Many additions and changes in the house were made from 1816 on; a top storey and a Picture Room of 1825-6 behind No. 14 were the most consequential. See Soane, J., Description of the House and Museum on the North Side of Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London, 1832; enl. ed., 1835-6.
