He brings forward different Nations to _father_ the Architecture in Ancient America,--he calls for "spirits from the vasty deep;" but they will not come,--he calls to the Hindu, Chinese, and Japanese, to claim the Child,--they reject it. Europe does the same.--Greece is not claimed,--although the meander border is on the Sculptured drapery of the offspring. It must then belong to Asia!--No?--well then certainly to the great Nation of Africa--Egypt!--what! the negative again?--the writ to find the Parent is about to be returned endorsed _non est inventus_, and the Architectural Child to be declared fatherless,--for he passes by the only Nation of all others that should have been selected,--from their means of accomplishing the migration,--their knowledge of art,--skill in imitation,--their neighbourhood and communion with Egypt,--every circumstance proclaims--Tyrus:--but,--no, --this would not answer the purpose of the fascinating Traveller,--his "conclusion" had a peculiar end in view,--something National,--and with that love of country so conspicuous (God be praised!) in the Anglo-Saxon race, he discards Europe, Asia, and Africa as the Builders,--to him there is a nobler idea,--that the Temples, Palaces, and Altars,--Priests, Kings, and People,--Architects, Sculptors, and Painters belonged _to America only_,--that they were as the "plants" "indigenous to the Soil,"--or, that they sprung like Minerva, ready armed and equipped, as the law of art directs, from the mental citadel of Jove himself!
