London, like Topsy, just "growed." Is she too big? Should she be replanned and rebuilt in the golden, though tragic, opportunity created by the vandalism of the Huns? These questions were posed lately in an admirable paper read before the Royal Society of Arts by Mr William Henry Ansell, president of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
