BUCKINGHAM HOUSE, is finely situated
at the west end of the Park. In the
front, which is towards the Mall and
the grand canal, it has a court inclosed
with iron rails. At the entrance of the
edifice, which is built with brick and
stone, is a very broad flight of steps,
upon which are four tall Corinthian pi-
lasters, that are fluted and reach to the
top of the second story, and at each
corner is a plain pilaster of the same or-
der. Within this compass are two series
of very large and lofty windows, over
which is the entablature, and in the
middle this inscriptions in large gold cha-
racters:
SIC SITI LÆTANTUR LARES.
Thus situated may the houshold Gods rejoice.
Over this is an Attic story with square
windows and Tuscan pilasters, over which
was an Acroteria of figures representing
Mercury, Secrecy, Equity, Liberty &c.
