architectve of the United SfatesDrThe last number of the North American Review contains an article abounding in severe criti- cisms on the prevailing styles of Architecture in the United States. The remark of Mir. Jefferson, forty years ago, that .' the genius of architecture seem to have shed peculiar maledicton over Ameriea,n is believed to be as we'll merted now as when uttered. The architectural faults and follies of his time, says the Review, have indeed passed away, but they have been succeeded by others of a different and more deplorable kind. If bold ness and want of fancy were the bane of that period, the ostentalious meannesso and .sstilted pretentionn of our contemporaries are considered as not whit better.
