    Description: The author shows how study in Italy, an essential part of British architectural training in the second half of the 18th century, continued on beyond the Napoleonic period. The knowledge of the ruins of Rome and Pompeii after 1815 made possible detailed imaginative reconstructions of the Roman townscape, distinct in type from 18th century representations, that helped trigger a popular fascination with Roman society and architecture. Salmon's account of the commissioning of buildings of explicitly Roman character in England offers a fascinating insight into this preoccupation with Rome and the symbolic intentions of the architects' civil and academic patrons.
