Excerpt from The State House: Boston, Massachusetts
"Far the most beautiful city in America, as far as I have seen, is Boston, and the State House is the most beautiful building in the country. At Washington, at Albany, at Chicago, and elsewhere, you see much grander and more costly structures; but this is in perfect taste and proportion: every interspace the right size, every moulding right, every decoration refined - a sort of Adams architecture of noblest type.... The situation is noble, and has been made the best of."
