TREASURY, a stone building fronting the parade in St. James’s Park.
The whole front is rustic; it consists of three stories, of which the
lowermost is of the basement kind, with small windows, though they
are contained in large arches; this story has the Tuscan proportion,
and the second the Doric, with arched windows of a good size; but
what is very singular, the upper part of this story is adorned with
the triglyphs and metopes of the Doric freeze, though this range of
ornament is supported by neither columns nor pilasters. Over this story
is a range of Ionic columns in the centre, supporting a pediment. Upon
the whole the Treasury must be allowed to be a building composed of
very beautiful parts, but it were to be wished they were fewer and
larger, as there is a sufficient distance to view it.
This edifice, has on the inside a court surrounded with buildings, and
here is not only the Treasury, but the office of trade and plantations.
The Treasury is under the government of five Lords Commissioners, one
of whom is called first Lord of the Treasury, and has a salary of 4000
_l._ _per annum_, and the rest have 1600_l._ a year each. Under these are
two joint Secretaries, four chief clerks, and sixteen other clerks: two
clerks of the revenue who have 100_l._ a year each, two sollicitors who
have 500_l._ a year each, and an assistant, an office keeper who has 300
_l._ a year, and finds coals and candles for the office, four messengers
of the Exchequer, a messenger of the chamber, and other servants. See
the article EXCHEQUER.
