LINCOLN'S INN HALL AND LIBRARY. This structure is fast approaching completion, having been laboured at night and day with all the vigour which its energetic architect and contractor could bring to bear. The buildings include a library, a dining hall, and a bencher's room, and are in what may be called the early domestic style of the sixteenth century, or reign of Henry Vill. They stand, as our readers are aware, on part of the site of Lincoln's Inn Garden, looking on Lincoln's Inn Fields, and form an important addition to this great inn of court, which hitherto has been rather in arrear in the matter of architecture. In compliance with the practice at the Temple, Gray's Inn, and Staples Inn, these buildings are in a medieval style, but which, in the present instance, does not accord witli some of the other prominent edifices in Lincoln's Inn, nor with those in Lincoln's Inn Fields.

To begin with the diuing-hall: at the south end, a, it greatly ex- ceeds the present one in dimensions, that being only 75 ft. by 32 ft. whereas this is 120 ft. by 45 ft. and 04 ft. high, it is therefore consi- derably larger also than Midd
