ABSTRACT
The silence of the Sabbath contrasted with the confusion all around. Debris everywhere! Heaps of earth, mounds of plaster of Paris, collections of bricks, stones, and all the paraphernalia of the builder and sculptor met the author at every turn. This gallery of the vast German Pavilion was magnificently arranged. Every photograph was a fine one, every plan splendidly drawn; and each exhibit was not only well framed and glazed, but usually in good taste. Guardians in German uniform stood at each end of the building, who were able to reply intelligently to all the author questions, and even to direct the author to Geddes, to whom had been given the galleries beside theirs. They are quick and intelligent, and have good powers of resistance; even in the army 'goose-step' isn't everything; nor can you judge a soldier by his height or by his uniform entirely, you know.
