Band Rotunda.
(To the Editor of the Times).,
Sir,—As the proposed baud rotunda has been on the tapis for some considerable timo, and suggestions have been offered-as to tho shapo, otc., thereof, may I beg that you will kindly allow mo space to mako a few remarks on tho subject. I have hitherto refrained from doing so, but when I obsorvo that a professional gentleman has put in writing that the square of the octagon of the rotunda suggested would be 22 feet, I venture to assort (with all due deference) that a rotunda must be circular in form, and should, to be architecturally correct, bo surmounted by a dome. I submit that a building of any other shape may bo called a band-stand, but cannot bo really a rotunda.—l am, etc., Architecture.
