Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report Upon the IV International Congress of Architects, Brussels, 1897, Secretary of the Treasury
The Government demands of its architects the most varied services, necessitating very different attitudes - specialties, if you will. These it finds among the pupils of the Ecole des Beaux Arts.
It has instituted a council and a service of diocesan buildings, religious buildings, cathedrals, bishoprics, seminaries, a council and a service of historic monuments, precious relics Of former times retained and restored with care and respect, and finally a council and a service for civil buildings. These councils are consulted upon plans of projected buildings, upon the restorations, etc., and their approbation is necessary whoever the architect may be.
