THE CRYSTAL PALACE, SYDENHAM.

Although this stupendous structure is not, like its patronymic, the Great Exhibition building in Hyde Park, placed within the limits of the town, the "Curiosities of London" would scarcely be complete without some notice of the contents of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. It occupies the summit of a hill between the Brighton Railway and the Dulwich Wood, the fall from its site to the railway being 200 feet. In its construction the materials of the Great Exhibition building have been employed; but it is larger than its predecessor by 1623 feet, and by nearly one-half in cubic contents. It is almost entirely of iron and glass, covers nearly three-quarters of a mile of ground; and its height from the garden-front to the top of the louvres is 208 feet, 6 feet higher than the Monument. The nave is covered with an arched roof, raising it 44 feet higher than the nave in Hyde Park; and the centre and two end transepts have similar roofs. Nearly 10,000 tons of iron have been used in the main building and wings; and the superficial quantity of glass is 25 acres.

The Nave is entered at the south end, through an ornamental screen of niches filled with statues of kings and queens by John Thomas. In the area, statues are picturesquely grouped with stupendous pines, palms, and other tropical plants of luxuriant beauty, backed by the brilliant façades of the various Industrial and Fine Arts Courts. East and west are groups illustrating the ethnology, zoology, and botany of the Old and New Worlds; and at each end is a spacious basin, for a fountain to throw up water from 70 to 200 feet. In the Great Transept are the works of French and Italian, German and English, Roman and Greek sculptors; and models of celebrated ancient and modern edifices. Throughout the whole building are galleries devoted to the exhibition of objects of industry and fine art. The most beautiful works are the Courts representing the architecture and sculpture of each nation: Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Pompeian, Alhambra, Assyrian, Byzantine, and Romanesque; German, English, French, and Italian mediæval; Renaissance, Elizabethan, Italian, &c.

Descending to the Italian and English Landscape Garden and the Park (planned by Sir Joseph Paxton, F.L.S.), we find Science and Philosophy teaching their sublime truths in a geological illustration of the Wealden formation, “so well known in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, and formerly the great metropolis of the Dinosaurian orders, or the largest of gigantic lizards:" the various strata are here represented; and here Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins, under the guiding eye of Professor Owen, has built up gigantic animals of a former world, and in some instances restored them from fossil remains.

The Palace is approached by a branch from the Brighton Railway, into its very arcades. The building was opened by her Majesty, June 10, 1854. It has already cost a million of money; and in grandeur of purpose is a marvel of enlightened enterprise. (See the series of excellent Guide-books, by the late Samuel Phillips, D.C.L.)
