      Your correspondent of this morning, who states that `the chief part of what was
      remarkable in the interior (of this house) wasdestroyed by a former Dean and
      Chapter' must surely have seen the interior from the exterior. Last summer I had
      the pleasure of seeing it in the way that most mortals see an interior, and I must
      assert as a fact, that the interior of the hall and staircase (with the quite
      remarkable `lantern'), together with the reception rooms, was still `remarkable'
      for something unusual in London, which I took to be architectural beauty, and which
      the architects and archaeologists, including the late Dean Stanley, who had been
      kind enough to ask me to accompany them, thought was still in pretty much the same
      condition as it had been left by its original builders.
