During the last fifty years the pages of the professional journals have contained most of the noteworthy buildings erected, and it is a source of much pleasure and instruction to go through these records of the developments which have taken place, for they seem to show that a style or manner in architecture is being slowly worked out, which may, it is hoped, resist all revivals and fashions, and become the free expression of our own civilization, and the outward symbol of the tAventieth century. British Colonial Architecture. The development of architecture in the great self-governing colonies, such as Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, has to a large extent followed the lead of the mother country, and buildings have been and are erected both in the Classic, Gothic and Renais- sance styles. As in England, Classic is principally though not wholly reserved for secular buildings, and Gothic for ecclesiastical buildings, a homely type of design resembling our own Georgian style being employed for smaller domestic works of the country- house type. Some of the larger works are of importance and are an evidence of the political growth of those colonies in which they are situate. Among those in the " Classic " school are the MacGill University, Montreal, and the Parliament House, Melbourne ; and a large number of banks, insurance offices, city halls, and law courts. In the "Gothic" school, Melbourne Cathedral'and the Parliamient House at Ottawa are outstanding examples. The Parliament House at Sydney was intended to be rebuilt in this style, but the building was not proceeded with further than the foundation, the old buildings being still in use.
