Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Descriptive and Historical Account of Various Palaces, and Public Buildings, English and Foreign
The liberal countenance bestowed by the Sovereign on the late Master of the Board of Works, Sir William Chambers, readily accounts for the nomination of that architect to the superintendence of the projected edifice. After a design of Sir William's, the building was begun; and, though never entirely completed, it must certainly be allowed, in many respects, to redound to the credit of his taste and ingenuity.
