_The Chronologic Institute._--Should not this society, as a preliminary,
protest against the architectural anachronisms of these days--the
building churches, for instance, in every, any, or no style of
architecture? In one parish the priest erects an Early English church,
copied from the _Oxford Glossary_; in the next, something very like a
conventicle, with no chancel and no chimes, is built by subscription; in
another, the architect is a disciple of Ruskin, and tries the Byzantine
style, with a tower like St. Mark's of Venice;--a nice Gordian knot for
coming chronologists!
