JONES, iNKio (l.-)731G52). An English ar- chitect, born in London. Of his early history little is known till the time when the Earl of Pembroke, attracted by his great aptitude for drawing, sent him abroad for tour years to study the masterpieces of architecture in France, Ger- many, and Italy. He spent most of his time in Venice, paying particular attention to the works of PaHadio, whose style lie introduced into Eng- land, whence we sometimes hear Jones designated as the 'English Palladio.' After a visit to Den- mark he returned to England before 1005, when lie was employed by James I. in arranging the sceneiy and properties for the masques of Bea Jonson, which were at that time the chief amusement of the Court. Jonson afterwards satirized his fellow-laborer in Bartliolomew Fair. In 1613 and 1014 Jones revisited Italy, still further to inijirove his style, and on liis return to England was ajipointed surveyor-general of the royal buildings (1015). .Tones was at this time accounted the first arcliitect of England, and ac- cording to some the first of the age. T)ie state of architecture in England during his time was an excellent foil to his genius as the praise bestowed upon his works shows. In 1018 he planned the Palace of Whitehall (950X1280 feet), of which only the famous banqueting-hall, c(msiilercd to be his masterpiece, was carried out. Oth<'r works of liis are Lindsay House, the Cliurch of Saint Paul, in Covent Garden, Ashburnham House, and Surgeons' Hall, but these are mediocre. Most of his im|)ortant works, such as the renovations of the facade of Old Saint Paul's, Sliaftesbury House, Pliysi- cians' College, etc., have been destroyed. His Designs, consisting of plans for pulilic and pri- vate buildings, were piil>lislied by W. Kent at I.ondcm, 1727.
