BALANCE IjV ARCHITECTURE. 8/ a tower at one side or corner offsets the body of a church(Fig. 97, page 292); or as a dome completes that which sup-ports it (Fig. 23, page 78). With exception of the dome,however, such arrangements are in place mainly in smallerbuildings in which graceful and picturesque effects aredesirable. In all such cases, too, it is important thatthe siibo7dinatc feature be sufficiently large to be a truecoDiplcment or balance. A wing, or tower, or dome of anykind, too small for that which goes beside or beneath it,is invariably unsatisfactory. Notice the absence of effec-tiveness for both these reasons in the cupola surmountingthe unnecessary mixture of styles in the Palace of Jus-tice, at Lyons, France, Fig. 29, page 85. In the degree in which a building, like a church, acourt-house, or a school, is to be devoted to a seriouspurpose, it should convey an impression of dignity. Inart, as in life, this effect results from an appearance ofperfect equilibrium. In arch
