C R Cockerell, on Regent's Park

The architecture of the Regent's Park may be compared to the

Poetry of an improvisatore - one is surprised and even

captivated at first sight with the profusion of splendid images,

the variety of the scenery & the readiness of the fiction. But if

as many were versed in the Grecian rules of this science as

there are in those of Homer and Virgil this trumpery would beless popular

………

[There is] something mortifying & humiliating in seeing the

profusion of ornam[en]t & badness of the arch[itectur]e
