Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Intended Restoration of the Parthenon of Athens as the National Monument of Scotland IN a discussion on the various styles of architecture in the Quarterly Review, Oc tober 1822, the Reviewers take an opportu nity of declaring their decided hostility to the restoration of the Parthenon as the Na-r tional Monument of Scotland, and likewise to the introduction of pure Grecian archi tecture, as unsuitable to modern times. Though distinguished by much eloquence and research, and many excellent remarks, the general scope of the doctrines inculca ted, and inferences attempted to be drawn, must appear to every unprejudiced reader, who has any acquaintance with the subject.
