Summary

This quote highlights the influence and replication of Victorian architecture in the United States, directly imitating its origins in England. During the 19th century, American architects sought inspiration from the prevailing architectural styles in Europe, particularly the Victorian era in England. As a result, American cities began to embrace the ornate details, intricate moldings, and grandeur associated with Victorian architecture. The replication of this style was emblematic of the desire to demonstrate cultural sophistication and emulate the elegance and artistic expressions of European countries during that time.

Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.
