Modern Architecture.—In the begin-ning of the 19th century, the habit ofimitating ancient styles was established,and began to be applied to Grothic archi-tecture also, which speedily came to begenerally adopted, especially for eccle-siastical edifices. This was particularlythe case in Great Britain, and among theAnglo-Saxon race wherever found—inthe United States, India, and Australia,as well as at home. All modern archi-tecture is imitative, and it is doubtfulwhether a really new style is possible. Atpresent Gothic is generally adopted forchurches, and Renaissance for domesticbuildings.
