Book Description
Excerpt from An Address Delivered at the Opening of the New Court House in Worcester, September 30, 1845 One other consideration is important in determining the place, in which architecture should be held, and it is this, that it is not necessary to the enjoyment of the essential ben efits of society. Elegant architecture is to be regarded as the decoration, not as the foundation of the social edifice. A young community therefore, or a community struggling with poverty, are not to be deterred by any sense of false shame from providing the means of education and improve ment, however coarse and scanty, because they are unable to invest them in the sumptuous and graceful attire, with which their own good taste, if aided by affluence, would delight to invest them. Who can doubt that our pious ancestors in their days of destitution, struggling with poverty, could worship God with as much ardor of devotion, and solemn earnestness, in the naked meetinghouse, of logs or boards and shingles, scarcely sufficient to exclude the blasts of the bleak northwester, as those who assemble under the spires and domes of the lofty cathedral, and listen to the deep tones of the pealing organ.
