 PREFACE 
 
 TH E Nlimber of Books which have lately been pub- 
 lifh'd on the Science of Architedlure may make 
 it appear an Impofitlon to ofter this to the Perufal 
 of the Public : But I am fully perfuaded, that the Subjed; 
 is fo copious that notwithftanding ten thoufand Authors 
 were to treat ever fo largely on each particular Branch of it, 
 yet the Field is fo wide and extenfive, that there is ftill Room 
 enough left for the Employment of the moft fertile Genius. 
 
 If what is here ofFer'd fliculd meet with the defired Succefs, 
 which I fhall wholly rely on the Candour and Indulgence of 
 the Public, and fubmit the prefent undertaking to their im- 
 partial Cenfure or Approbation. However, I fhall think my- 
 felf unpardonably vain, to imagine that no other Admirer 
 of this boundlels Art could poflibly make any Improvements 
 on this, or any other future Attempts which may probably 
 be exhibited. 
 
 As it has been an eftablifhed Cuftom amongft the ableft 
 and moft experienc'd Archite6ls, both antient and Modern, 
 to exhibit the five Orders belonging to that Science by way 
 oi Introduilion fo (partly in conformity to that Cuftom, 
 but itiore particularly for the fake of fuch of my Readers 
 as may not have had the Opportunity of perufing the nu- 
 merous Treatifes that have been publilh'd on this interefting 
 Subjecl) I fhall exhibit in the firfl: place the Five Orders, 
 as laid down by the celebrated Palladio. 
 
 Vitruv'ms^ recommends to our Confideration three par- 
 ticular Articles highly requifite in all pompous Structures, 
 viz. Conveniency, Strength, and Beauty, which are doubt- 
 lefs ftridly to be obferv'd in all kinds of Building where 
 their refpedtive Situations will admit of fuch Ornaments as 
 are proper. 
 
 For were you to build with the utmoft Conveniency, if we 
 
 are 
 
are defcdivc in (Ircngth, we are fpending our Time and Sub- 
 fiance for no other purpofe than to behold a heap of Ruins 
 in a few Years ; on the other hand, if you are deficient in 
 Beauty, the whole would have a bad Eiiedt, and prove 
 offenfive to the Eye. 
 
 I fhall here omit laying down Inftrudlions concerning the 
 different Materials made ufe of in all magnificent Strudures, 
 that Article not being fo abfolutely necelfary to the Gene- 
 raUty of our Readers, nor is it fo eafy for them to attain a 
 fufhcicnt Knowledge of their various Properties, fince it 
 requires much more Pradice than they can be fuppos'd 
 to have an Opportunity of acquiring ; but fliall refer the 
 Curious in thofe particulars to the elaborate, and univer- 
 fally admired Works of Vitriivius^ Palladio and others, who 
 have treated more at large on thofe Topics. 
 
 One efTcntial point in Building is the fixing on a proper 
 Spot of Ground, in Cafe you are not confined to a particular 
 one, whereon to ered: your Edifice; in which Choice you 
 are to confult not only Conveniency, and a fine Profped:, 
 but the moft fubftantial Foundation. 
 
 Where you are confined, indeed, to a Foundation, whicli 
 is naturally a bad one, great precaution, in the firft place, 
 muft be taken to mend and fecure it by proper Planking, 
 or Piling, or both, as the Surveyor, or other Adept, and 
 proper Infpedor in the Science fhall judge moft necefTary; 
 and on thefe the Foundations are to be laid, which muft 
 be done with due Regard to Strength, in proportion to the 
 Bulk of the Edifice, and the Height of its Walls. 
 
 At firft, the Work muft be thicker and more fubftantial 
 than the Walls are propofcd to be; and muft diminilh at 
 each Courfe proportionably, till the Builder proceeds to 
 that Thicknefs of which the Walls are defigned to be in 
 the lower Ofiices; ftill continuing carefully to diminiili in 
 Thicknefs in every Story upwards, having, at the fame 
 Time, a proper Regard to the Strength of thofe Walls, 
 wherein the Stacks of Chwmeys are to be carried up. 
 
 To the five Orders of Palladio I have adjoin'd (in Letter- 
 Prefs TVork) fuch Chapters, ex traded from him as relate 
 thereto, which concludes the firft Part of this Treatife.

 CHAP. I. 
 
 0/ the Five Orders of ArchiteSiure ufed by the Antknts, 
 
 H E Antients had live Kinds or Orders of 
 Architedure, -viz. the Tujcan^ Doricky 
 lonicky CoriJithiaiiy and Compofite ; which 
 muft be difpofed in fuch a manner, that the 
 moll llrong and foHd may be always under- 
 moft, for then it will be the better able to fuftain the 
 whole Weight, and the Fabrick will ftand on a firmer 
 Bafis ; for which reafon the Dorick muft always be fet 
 under the Io7iick ; the loJikk under the Corinthiaji, and 
 the Cormthia7i under the Compofite. The Tifcan being 
 a very plain and fimple Order, is therefore very feldom 
 ufed above Ground, except in thofe Buildings where one 
 Order only is employed, fuch as rural Edifices, or very 
 large Fabricks, as Amphitheatres^ &c. in which, as fe- 
 veral Orders are made ufe of, this may be fet under the 
 lonick inftead of the Dorick : and if the Archited: is 
 defirous of leaving out one of thefe, as for Inflance, to 
 fet the Corinthia7i immediately over the Do7-ick^ this may 
 be done, provided the moft ftrong and folid Part be 
 loweft, for the Reafons abovementioned. I fliall fet 
 down the Meafures of each of thefe Orders feparately, 
 not fo much according to the Method Vit7-uvius has 
 taught, as purfuant to the Obfervations I myfelf have 
 made on antient Edifices ; but firft 1 fhall mention fuch 
 Particulars as relate to all of them in G;eneral.

 Of the Swelling a?id Diminution of Columns ; of the Lt- 
 ter-colum?iiations and Pilaftcrs. 
 
 TH E Colujmis in each Order arc to be made in 
 fuch a manner, that the Diameter of the upper 
 part of the Colu??in, may be fmaller than at the Bafe, 
 and have a Httle SwelHng in the middle. In the dimi- 
 nution of thefe we muft obferve, that the longer the 
 Colum?Js are, the iefs they muft diminiili, and that, be- 
 caufe the height has the effe6l of diminution, by rea- 
 fon of the diftance. Wherefore if the Column be fifteen 
 Foot high, the Diameter at Bottom fliali be divided 
 into fix Parts and a half, and five and a half fliall be 
 the Thicknefs at top ; if from fifteen to twenty Foot, 
 the Diameter at the Bottom muft be divided into feven 
 Parts, and fix and a half fhall be the Diameter at Top; 
 the fame muft be obferved in thofe that are from twen- 
 ty to thirty Foot high, where the Diameter at the Bot- 
 tom muft be divided into eight Parts, feven of which 
 fhall be the Diameter at Top ; and thus thofe Colu7?ins 
 that are of a greater Altitude, will diminifh in the 
 abovcfaid Manner, as Vitruvius tells us in the fecond 
 Chapter of . his third Book. But in what manner the 
 Svv'clling in the Middle is to be made, of this he has 
 only left us a bare Promife ; which is the Reafon why 
 Writers differ fo much from one another upon that 
 Head. The Method I ufe in making the Profil of the 
 abovcmentioned Swelling; is as follows, I divide the 
 F\ift of the Column into three equal Parts, and leave the 
 lower part exactly perpendicular, to the Extremity of 
 which 1 apply a thin Rule, of the fame Length, or a 
 little longer than the Column ; and bending that part 
 
 of 
 
[ 3 ] 
 
 of the Rule which comes forward, 
 till fjch time as the End of it touch- 
 es the Point of Diminution, of the 
 upper part of the Column under the 
 CollarinOy I then mark as that Curve 
 directs ; thus I have the Cokwin fwcl- 
 ling a little in the Middle, and pro- 
 jeding forward with great Beauty and 
 Gracefulnefs. And althouorh I could 
 
 CD 
 
 not find a more concife and expedi- 
 tious Method than this, yet a Circum- 
 ftance tliat gave me a better Opinion 
 of it was Signior Pietro Cattaneo\ be- 
 ing fo well pleafed therewith, as to 
 give it a place in his Treatife of Ar- 
 chitecture, a Work that greatly illu- 
 ftrates our Profeilion. 
 
 A B the third part of the Column, 
 which is direSily perpc?2dicidar. 
 
 B C the two thirds that diini72ijh, 
 
 C the Point of the Diminution under 
 the Collarino. 
 
 The Intercolumniations, or Dillan- 
 ces between the Columns^ may be ot 
 one Diam.eter and a hall of the Co- 
 lumn^ the Diameter being always ta- 
 ken at the loweft part of the Column^ 
 or of two Diameters, of two and a 
 quarter, of three, and even more ; 
 but the Antients never exceeded 
 three Diameters, except in the T'uf- 
 can Order, where the Architraves be- 
 ing of Timber, they made the In- 
 tercolumniations very large ; but then 
 they never made them lefs than 
 
[ + ] 
 
 a Diameter and a half, which fpace or diftance they 
 particularly obferved when the Colimms were very high. 
 But they chiefly approved thofe Intercolumniations that 
 were of two Diameters and a quarter, and looked upon 
 them as mod: beautiful and elegant. Wc mull ob- 
 ferve very carefully, to keep a due Proportion and Har- 
 mony between the Intercolumniations or Spaces and the 
 Columns ; becaufe if fmall Colu7?ins are made with large 
 Intercolumniations, it will very much lelTen the grace- 
 fulnefs of the former ; for the too great Quantity oi 
 Air, in the void Spaces, will diminilh their thickneis 
 confiderably : And on the contrary, if we make largo 
 Columns and fmall Intercolumniations, the too little Va- 
 cuity will make them look thick and heavy, and with- 
 out the leall Grace. Therefore if the Spaces be up- 
 wards of three Diameters, the thick nefs of the Column 
 muft be a fevcnth Part of its Altitude, as will be here- 
 after obferved in the I'ufcan Order. But if the Spaces 
 arc three Diameters, the length ol the Cclunnis muft be 
 {i^\zw Diameters and a half, or eight, as in the Dorick 
 Order ; if two and a quarter, the Colum7i muft be nine 
 Diameters in length, as in the lonick ; and if no more 
 than two, the Columns muft be nine Diameters and a half 
 in length, as in the Corinthian ; and laftly, if of one 
 Diameter and a half, the length of the Columns muft 
 be ten, as in the Compofite. I have been thus caretid in 
 making my Obfervations upon thcfe feveral Orders, to 
 the end that they may ferve for Examples for that Va- 
 riety of Intercolumniations mentioned by Vitrwoius in 
 the abovecited Chapter. In the Front of Buildings the 
 Colum?ts muft be an even Number, that there may be 
 an opening in the middle, which fiiould be larger than 
 the other Intercolumniations, for the better receiving the 
 Doors and Entries ; fo much for fingle Pillars or Co- 
 lonades. But if Galleries are to be made with PilaJJers^ 
 they muft be difpofed in fuch a manner, that the thick- 
 nefs. of the Pilajlers or Piers be not lefs than one third 
 
 of 
 
[s ] 
 
 of the Void from Pier to Pier, and to thofe in the An- 
 gles two thirds ; which will make the Angles of the 
 Building more ftrong and fold. And when thefe Piers 
 are to fupport a very great Weight, as in coniiderable 
 Edifices, then they muft have half the Thicknefs of the 
 Vacancy, as thofe of the Theatre of Vicenzay and of 
 the Amphitheatre of Capua ; or elfe two thirds, as thofe 
 of the Theatre of Ma?'cellus in Ro}ne^ and that of Ogu- 
 bius^ now in the polTeiTion of Sig?uor Ludovico de Ga~ 
 briellL a Gentleman of that Citv. But the Antients 
 fometimes made them as thick as the whole Vacancy, 
 as in that Part of the Theatre of Vero7ia which does 
 not ftand on the Hill. But in private Buildings they 
 mufl: not be lefs in thicknefs, than the third Part o[ 
 the Opening, nor more than two thirds, and lliould 
 be fquare; but to fave Expence, and make more room 
 for People to pafs, they need not be fo thick in Flank 
 as in Front j and to embellifli it, half Columns or Pi- 
 lajle7's may be placed in the middle, to fupport the Cor- 
 nices over the Arches of the Gallery, whofe thicknefs 
 muft be proportionable to their height, accordingr to 
 each Order, as will be flievvn in the following Chapters 
 and Defigns. For the underftanding of which, and to 
 prevent frequent Repetitions, the Reader is to know, 
 that in the dividing and meal'uring the above-mentioned 
 Orders, I have not made ufe of any fixt and determi- 
 nate Meafure peculiar to any place, as a Cubit^ a Foot^ 
 or a Spa7i\ the feveral Meafures being as different as the 
 Countries; but imitating Vitruvius^ who divides the 
 Dorick Order with a Meafure taken from the Diameter 
 of the Column, common to all, and by him called a 
 Module, I fliall likewife ufe tlie fame Meafure in all the 
 Orders. This Module is the Diameter of the Column 
 at Bottom, and is divided into fixty Minutes, except in 
 the Dorick, in which the Module is half the Diameter of 
 the Cohmm, and is divided into thirty Minutes, this being 
 more commodious in the Divifions of that Order. One 
 may therefore divide the Module into more or lefs Parts, 
 
 C according 
 
[6] 
 
 according to the Quality of the Building, and make ufe 
 of the Defigns of the Proportions and Profils fuitable to 
 each Order. 
 
 CHAP. iir. 
 
 Of the Tufcan Order. 
 
 ^ I ^HE Tu/ccin Order, according to Vit7'uvius, and 
 _|^ what indeed it appears in efte6t, is the moft plain 
 and fimple of all the Orders of Architecture j as it re- 
 tains more of the old Simplicity, and is devoid of all 
 thofe Ornaments, which give fo great a Grace and Beau- 
 ty to the others. It was firft invented in Tufcany, a very 
 •Confiderable Part of Italy, whence it derives its Name. 
 The Column, together with its Bafe and Capital, muft 
 be feven Modules in length, and its Diminution a fourth 
 Part of its bignefs. If a Work is to be made of this fim- 
 ple Order, the Inte?'Colum7iiations may be very wide, and 
 that becaufe the Architraves are made of Timber, which 
 will therefore be very commodious for Country Build- 
 ings, by reafon of the eafy PafTage for Carts and other 
 Country Conveniences, not to mention that it will be a 
 much lefs Expence. 
 
 But if there are to be Gates, or Galleries, with Ar- 
 ches, then they muft make ufe of the Meafures, which I 
 have marked in the Defign, wherein we fee the Stones 
 difpofed and joined together in fuch a manner as appear- 
 ed to me beft, when the whole Edifice is to be of Stone. 
 I have already obferved the fame, in the Defigns of the 
 four other Orders, and have borrowed this Manner of 
 difpofing and joining the Stones, from many antient Ar- 
 ches, as will be feen in my Treatife of Arches, in the 
 Defigns of which I have employed the utmoft Care and 
 Diligence.

 The Pedeflals, under the Columns of this Order, niuft 
 be very plain and a Module in height. That of the Baf& 
 of the Column muft be half its Diameter. This height 
 is to be divided into two equal Parts, one of which muft 
 go to tlie Plinth^ which is made round; the other is fub- 
 divided into four Parts, one of which is for the Lijlella 
 or Fillet^ which may fometimes be made a little lefs ; the 
 Lijlella makes a. Part of the Baje^ in this Order only, in 
 all the others it is Part of the Column; the other three 
 Parts are for the Torus. This Bafe muft projed; a iixth 
 Part of the Diameter of the Colmim. The height ot the 
 Capital k half the Diatneter of the lower Part ot the Co- 
 lumn^ and is divdded into three equal Parts; one is given 
 to the Abacus^ which from its Shape is ufually called 
 Dado or a Dye\ the other to the Ovolo, and the third 
 is fubdivided into feven Parts : Of one of thefe the Lif- 
 tella under the Ovolo is made, and the remaining lix are 
 for the Collarino or Neck of the Column : The height of the 
 AJlragal is double that of the Lijlella under the Ovolo; 
 and its Center is made on the Line, which falls perpen- 
 dicular from the forefaid Lijlella ; the Projedure of the 
 Cin&ure falls plum upon the Lijlella, which is as thick 
 as the Lijlella. The Projedure of this Capital anfwers to 
 the Shajt of the Column below. Its Architrave is made 
 of Timber, the height of which muft be equal to its 
 breadth, and its breadth muft not be greater than the 
 ShaJt of the Column at Top; the Joyjis which fupply 
 the place of the Guttle or Drip, projed a fourth part of 
 the length of the Column. Here follow the Meafures of 
 the Tujcan Order, according to Vitruvius.

 Verona^ the Are7ia and Theatre of Pola^ and many others 
 that might be mentioned, from which I have taken the 
 Prcfls of the Bafe^ Capital, Architrave^ Freeze, and Cor-

 Of the Dorick 07'dtr. 
 
 THE Do?'ick Order owes both its Name and Origi- 
 nal to the Dorians, a Greek, People inhabiting Afa. 
 If thefe Coliwms are inlular without Piers, they muft 
 be feven Diameters and a half, or eight in length. The 
 hitercohmmiations are fomething lefs than three Diame-

 fters' of the Column^ which Manner is called by Vitruvi- 
 ■usy Diajlylos. But in cafe they are joined to P/Vrj, their 
 Altitude muft be feventeen Modules and one third, in- 
 eluding the Bafe and Capital \ and we muft remember, 
 as was before obferved in the fecond Chapter, that 
 the Module in this Order, is but half the Diameter of 
 -the Column^ divided into thirty Minutes; and that in all 
 the other Orders, it is the whole Diameter divided into 
 lixty Minutes. 
 
 We do not find that the Antients made any Pedejlal 
 to this Order, in which they have not been imitated by 
 the Moderns. When therefore a Pedejlal is to be joined 
 to them, the Dado or Dye muft be fquare, whence the 
 Meafure of its Ornaments muft be taken; for it muft firft 
 be divided into three equal Parts, two of which fhall 
 be for the Bafe with its Plinth^ and the third for the Cy- 
 'matiu??!^ to which the Plinth of the Bafe of the Column 
 muft be joined. Some of thefe Pedefals are found alfo 
 in the Corinthia?i Order, as in the Arch in Verona call- 
 ed the Arch de Leo?ii. I have inferred feveral kinds of 
 Proflsy that may be fitted to the Pedefals of this Order, 
 all of them beautiful, and taken from the Antients, and 
 meafured with the utmoft Exadnefs. This Order has 
 no Bafe peculiar to it, whence it is that thefe Columns are 
 found without 5^j in feveral Edifices; as the Theatre of 
 Marcellus in P^^oine^ the Temple de la Pieta near the fame 
 Theatre; the Theatre of Viccnza^ and in feveral other 
 Places. But the Attick Baf is fometimes joined to it, 
 and is very Ornamental; the Mealiires thereof are as fol- 
 lows : Its height muft be half the Diameter of the Co- 
 lumn^ and is divided into three equal Parts; one goes to 
 xh& Plinth\ the other two are fubdivided into four equal 
 Parts, one of which is for the upper Torus, the remain- 
 ing three are again fubdivided into two equal Parts ; one 
 of which is the lower Torus, and the other the Cavetto 
 with its Lifellas; thefe have alfo their peculiar Meaiures, 
 and muft be divided into fix Parts ; the firft is for the up- 
 ^per Lifelkij the fecond for the lower, and the four re- 
 
 D mainin^ 
 
[ 10] 
 
 maining for the Cavetto. The whole Projefhire is the fixth 
 Part of Diameter of the the Column-. The Cindlure is half 
 
 ■ the upper Torus \ ir it is divided from the Baje, itsProjec- 
 ture mull be one third of that of the Ba/e. But if the Ba/e 
 and part of the Column make one entire Piece, the Cinc- 
 ture muft be made fmall, as may be feen in the third 
 Deiign ot this Order, in which I have likewife drawn 
 
 ■two diflcrent kinds of If/ipoJIs of Arches.

 The Capital muft be half the Diameter of the Column^ 
 :and is divided into three Parts; the hrft is divided into 
 £ve Parts, whereof three are for the Abacus^ and two 
 for the Cymatium^ v.hich being fubdivided into three 
 Parts, one goes to the L,iflella^ and the other two to the 
 Cymatimn. The fecond principal Part is fubdivided into 
 three equal Parts; one is for the An?iulets or Squares, 
 which three are equal; the other two are for the Ovolo^ 
 whofe Projedure is two thirds of its height: The third 
 principal Part is for the Collarino. The whole Pro- 
 je6lure is the fifth Part of the Diameter of the Column. 
 The height of the Aftragal is equal to the three Ltfel- 
 las^ and projects to the lower Part of the Shaft of the 
 Column. The Cincture is half the height of the Afra"

 Upon the Capital is railed the Architrave, whofe height 
 mull be half the Diameter of the Column, and is divided 
 into feven Parts; one is for the Tenia or Fillet, whofe 
 Projedlure is equal to its height; we afterwards divide 
 the whole into fix Parts; one of thcfe is for theGw/ZcE, 
 which muft be fix in Number, and the Liflclla under 
 the Te?iia, which is a third Part of the faid Guttcc. From 
 the Tcfiia downwards, the remainder is again divided 
 
 into 
 
t " 3 
 
 into (even Parts ; three whereof are for the firft Fajcia^ 
 and four for the fecond. The Freeze is a Module and a 
 half in height ; the breadth of the Triglyph is one Mo- 
 dule^ and its Capital the Hxth Part of a Modide. The 
 Triglyph is divided into fix Parts; two of which are for 
 the two Channels in the Middle, one for the two 
 half Channels at the Ends or Extremities, and the 
 other three for the Spaces between the faid Channels. 
 The Metope^ that is the Interval between the Triglypbs^ 
 ought to be a perfe6t Square. The Cornice muii be a 
 Module and one lixth in height, and is divided into five 
 Parts and a half ; two of which are for the Cavetto and 
 and Ovolo. The Cavetto is lefs than the Ovolo^ juft as 
 much as is its Liftella\ the remaining three and a halt 
 are for the Corona and both the Cimas^ the ReSla and the 
 Reverfa. The Projediure of the Corona muft be two 
 thirds of a Module; and in its Face that looks downward, 
 and has a Projedure along the Triglyphs, fix Guttce in 
 length, and three in breadth with their JLiJlcllas^ and 
 fome Rojes over the Metope. The Gut toe are round and 
 fhaped like Bells^ and anfwer to thofe under the Tenia, 
 The Body of the Cymatium^ muft be an eiglith Part larg- 
 er than the Corona^ and is divided into eight Parts; two 
 whereof are for the Plinth^ and the other lix for the Cy~ 
 matiwn, whofe Projedure is feven Parts and a half. So 
 that the height of the Architrave, the Freeze and Cor- 
 nice^ are a fourth Part of the Altitude of the Column. 
 Thefe are the Meafures of the Cornice according to < 
 Vitruvius^ from which I have deviated, by altering fome 
 Members thereof, and making the whole a little larger.

 ^ \^ H E lonick Order kad its crigin from lonia^ a Pro- 
 J[ vince in Afia \ and Hiftory informs us that the 
 celebrated Temple of Diana at Ephejus was of this Or- 
 der. The Column with its Capital a.nd Bafe, muft be nine 
 Modules in height ; a Module^ as was before obferved, is the 
 Diameter of the Column below. The Architrave^ Freeze^ 
 and Cornice., are a fifth part of the Altitude of the Co- 
 lufnn ; in the Defign of fingle Columns., the Intercolum- 
 niations are two Diameters and a Quarter, which are the 
 moft commodious and beautiful, and is called Eufiylos 
 by Vitriivius. In the D.efign of the Arches., the Piers 
 are a third part of the Void, and the Arches have two 
 Diameters in height. 
 
 If Pedeflals are to be gl ven to the Io7iick Colum?is., as 
 in the Defgns of the Arches., their Altitude muft be 
 equal to half the breadth of the Opening of the Arch, 
 and is divided into feven Parts and a half; two whereof 
 are for the Bafe, one tor the Cymatium, and the remain- 
 ing four and a half for the Dado. The Bafe of the lo- 
 ?iick Order, muft be half a Module in thicknefs, and is 
 divided into three Parts ; one is given to the Plinth, whofe 
 Projedure is the fourth, and an eighth Part of the Mo-

 greateft Projedure. The Aftragah muft be the eig^ th 
 of the Cavetto; the Cindiire of the Column is the third 
 Part of the Torus of the Baje\ but if the Bafe be joined 
 to the Cokimn, the Cin6lure muft be fmaller, as was be- 
 fore obfervcd in the Dorick Order. The Projedure of 
 the Cinfture is half of that abovementioned. Thefe are 
 the feveral Meafures of the lonick Bafe., according to Fi- 
 truvius. 
 
 But as we find the Attkk Bafe^ placed under this Or- 
 der in a great many antient Edifices, which indeed I 
 think better; I have therefore drawn the faid Bafe over 
 the Pedefal., with a little Torus under the Cindure; but 
 at the fame Time have not omitted the Defign which 
 Vitruvius has given us. The Defgns marked Zy, are two 
 dift'erent Prcfils to make the Impofts of the Arches^ and 
 on each of them the Meafures are fet down in Numbers, 
 denoting the Minutes of the Module^ as has been ob- 
 ferved in all my other Defgns. Thefe Impofs are half 
 as high again, as the thicknefs of the Pilafier that fup- 
 ports the Arch.

 To make the Capital, the Diameter at the Foot of 
 the Column is divided into eighteen Parts, and nineteen 
 of fuch parts make the length and breadth of the Aba- 
 
 E cus ; 
 
[ -4] 
 
 cus \ half of which is the height of the Capital with its 
 Volutes^ whence its Altitude will be nine parts and a 
 half; one and a half of which is given to the Abacus 
 with its Cyjnalium^ and the remaining eight to the Fo- 
 lute, which is made in this Manner. From the Extre- 
 mity ot the Cymatium inward, one of the nineteen Parts 
 is taken, and from the Point made, 2iplmn Line is let 
 fall, which divides the Volute in the Middle, and is 
 called Catheto. Where the Point falls upon this Line, 
 that feparates the four Parts and a half above, from the 
 three and a half beiovv', the Center oF the Eye of the 
 Vclute is made, whofe Diameter is one of the eight Parts ; 
 and from the abovemenlioned Point, a Line is drawn, 
 which cutting the Catheto at right Angles divides the Volute 
 into four Parts. In the next place a Square is made in the 
 Eye of the Volute, as big as the Semi-Diameter of the faid. 
 Eye; and Diagonal Lines being drawn, on them the Points 
 are marked, where the fixed Foot of the Compafs is to 
 ftand, to make the Volute \ which Points or Centers, in- 
 cluding that of the Eye, are thirteen in Number; and 
 in what manner thefe are to be performed, will appear 
 by the Numbers marked in the Defign. The AJlragal 
 of the Colu7m2, is in a direct Line with the Eye of the 
 Volute. The thicknefs of the Volutes in the middle, 
 muft be equal to the Projedure of the Ovolo, which 
 muft come forward beyond the Abacus, jufl as much as 
 is the Eye of the Volute, The Cbaftnel of the Volute, 
 is even with the Shaft of the Column. The AJlragal 
 of the Column goes under the Volute, and is always ex- 
 pofed to fight, as appears by the Plan ; and indeed it is 
 natural that fo thin and weak a Member, as the Volnte 
 is fuppofed to be, fhould give way to a ftronger one fuch 
 as the Afiragal, from which it muft be equally diftant. 
 In the Angles of Colonades, or Portico's of the lonick 
 Order, we generally make Capitals with Volutes, not 
 only in the Fro7tt, but alfo in that part, which, if the 
 Capital were to be made as ufual, would have been the

 Of the Corinthian Order. 
 
 IN Corinth^ a celebrated City of Peloponnefus^ the 
 Corinthian Order was invented, which is more beau- 
 tiful and elegant than the foregoing. The Columns there- 
 of are like thofe of the loftick^ and are nine Modules and 
 a half in height, including their Bafe and Capital. If 
 they are to be fluted, they muft be made with twenty 
 four Flutes or Hollows, whofe depth is equal to hair their 
 breadth. The Plans or Spaces between two Flutes, muft 
 be one third of the breadth of the faid Flutes. The Ar- 
 chitrave, Freeze and Cornice, are a fifth of the height 
 of the Column. In the Defign of a Colonnade or Angle 
 Colu77i7is, the Liter colwnniat ions are two Diameters, as 
 in the Portico of Santa Maria Rotunda in Rofne, which 
 manner of diftancins; the Columns, Vitruvius calls Syfy- 
 los. And in tliat of the Arches, the Piers are two 
 fifths of the Opening of the Arch, whofe Opening is in 
 height, two Squares and a half, including the thicknefs 
 of the faid Arch. . The

 The height of the Pedejlal in this Order, muft be one 
 fourth of the Altitude of the Column^ and is divided in- 
 to eight Parts; one is for the Cy7Jtatiumy two for the 
 Bafe^ and the remaining five for the Dado. The Bafe 
 being divided into three Parts; two go to the Plinth^ 
 and one to the Mouldiiigs. This Colum?z has the Attkk 
 Bafe, but difi'ers from that which is fet under the Doi'ick 
 Order, in that its Projed:ure is one fifth Part of the Dia- 
 meter of the Colufmz, Some other Httle Variations may 
 be made, as is feen in the Defigns, wherein the Impojli 
 of the Arches are alfo profii'd, whofe height is half as

 which is allowed to the Abacus ; the remainder is divided 
 into three equal Parts; the firft is for the firft Row of 
 Leaves, the fecond for the middle Row, and the third is 
 again fubdivided into two parts ; of that part which is near- 
 eft the Abacus, are made the Caulicoli or Stalks, with their 
 Leaves, which feem to be fupported by them, and out of 
 which they grow ; for which reafon the Fuji or Stalk 
 whence they fpringfhould be thick, and diminiftiby fmall 
 degrees in their foldings; thereby imitating Plants, which 
 are thicker at the Bottom than at the Extremities of their 
 Branches. The Cafnpana or Bell, that is the Fuji of the 
 
 F Coln?7m 
 
[ '8 ] 
 
 Coluimi under the heaves^ raufl: be perpendicular to the 
 Bottom of the Flutes of the Columns. To give the Aba- 
 €us a proper Proje6lure, a perfed: Square niuft be made, 
 the Side of which is a Module and a half; and Diagonal 
 Lines being drawn in it, the Point of their Interfedlion 
 will be in the Middle or Center; here the fixed Foot of 
 the Compafs muft be placed, and a Module marked to- 
 wards each Angle of the Square ; and where thefe Points 
 meet, Lines are drawn that cut the fiid Diagonals at right 
 Angles, and fo as to touch the Sides of the Square, and 
 thefe fliall be the bounds of the Projedure, whole length 
 gives the breadth of the Horns of the Abacus. Its Cur- 
 vature or Diminution, is made by drawing a circular 
 Line from one Horn to the other, and in marking the 
 Point ; by which an Equilateral Triangle is made, whoie 
 Bafe is the Diminution. Afterwards a right Line is 
 drawn from the Extremities of the abovementioned 
 Horns, to the Extremity of the AJIragal oi xht Column^ 
 which muft be made in fuch a manner, as to be touched 
 by the Tips, or Extremities of the Leaves^ or elfe come 
 a little more forward; and this will be their ProjecSture. 
 The Rofe mufl be a fourth part as broad, as the Diame- 
 ter of the Column at the Foot. The A?xhitravey Freeze 
 and Cornice, as was before obferved, are a fifth part of 
 the height of the Column., and the whole is divided into 
 twelve parts as in the lonick^ but differs from it in this, 
 viz. that the Cornice of the Cormthia7t is divided into 
 eight parts and a half; the firft is allowed to the Cima 
 Reverfa^ the fecond to the Denticles^ the third to the 
 Ovolo^ and the fourth and fifth to the Mcdilian^ and the 
 remaining three and a halt to the Corona and the Cyma- 
 tium. The Projedure of the Cornice is equal to its 
 height. The Pannels of the Rofes between the Modi- 
 lions muft be fquare, and the Modilio7ts half as broad as 
 the Pla?i of the faid Rojes. The Members of this Or- 
 der are not marked by Letters as the foregoing, becaufe 
 by them thefe may be eafily known.

 CHAP. VII. 
 
 Of the Compofite Order. 
 
 THE Compojjte Order, which is alfo called Roi?ian^ 
 from its having been invented by the antient Ro- 
 mans^ is fo named, becaufe it partakes of two of the fore- 
 going Orders. The moft regular and beautiful is that 
 which is compounded of the loJtkk and Cofinihian. It is 
 made more llender and difengaged than the latter, and 
 may refemble it in all its Parts, the Capital excepted. The 
 Columns muft be ten Modules in length. In the Defigns 
 of Colonnades^ the Intercohunniation is one Diameter and 
 a half, which Vitruvius calls Pycnojlyle ; and in thofe oi 
 the Arches^ the Piers are half the Void of the Arch^ and 
 the height of the Arches^ under the Keyjlone^ is two 
 Squares and a half. 
 
 And as I before obferved, this Order muft be more 
 {lender and difengaged than the Corinthian^ its Pedejlal 
 is one third of the height of the Column, and mui1: be 
 divided into eight parts and a half. Of the firft the 
 Cyf?iatium of that Bafe is made, and five and a half re- 
 main for the Dado. The Bafe of the Pedeflal is fubdi- 
 vided into three parts; two are for the Plinth, and one 
 for the Tortfes with its Cymatiufn. 
 
 The Bafe of this Column may be Attick as in the Co- 
 7'inthian, and alfo be compounded of the Attick and lo- 
 nick, as appears by the Defgn. 
 
 The Prof Is of the hnpofts of the Arches, are by the 
 fide of the Plan of the Pedeflal, and its height is equal 
 to the thicknefs of the Membretto. 
 
 The Compofte Capital has the fame Meafures as the 
 Corinthia?i, but differs from it in the Volute, the Ovolo, 
 and Aflragal cut into Beads, wliich Members are bor- 
 rowed from the Io?iick, the way of making which is as 
 
 follows. 
 
[ 2° 1 
 
 Follows. From tlie Abacus downward, the Capital is 
 divided into three parts, as in the Corinthian-, the firft is 
 given to the firft Row oi Leaves, the .fecond to the mid- 
 dle Row, and the third to the Volute, which is made in 
 '.the llime manner, and vi^ith the flime Points, as that of 
 the lonlck', and takes up fo much of the Abacus, that it 
 feems to go out of the Ovolo, near the Flo'wer which is 
 put in the middle of the Curvature of the Abacus-, and 
 it is as thick in Front, as the breadth of the Hor7ts there- 
 of, or a little more. The Thicknefs of tlie Ovolo is three 
 fifths of the Abacus; its lower part begins parallel to the 
 Eye of the Volute; its Projedure is three fourths of its 
 height, and with its Projeclure is perpendicular to the 
 Curvature of the Abacus, or a little more outwards. 
 The AJiragal is one third part of the height of the Ovo- 
 h, and its Projedure a little more than half its thicknefs, 
 and turns about the Capital under the Volute, and is al- 
 ways feen. The Gradctto or Liftella which is under the 
 the Aflragal, and forms the Flinth of tire Campana, or 
 Bell of the Capital, is half the AJiragal The Body of 
 the Campana, muft be perpendicular to the Bottom of 
 the Flutes of the Column. I faw one of this kind in Rome, 
 from whence I borrowed the aboveraentioned Meafur€s, 
 becaufe I thought it extremely beautiful, and performed 
 with great Judgment. We alfo fee Capitals, made in a 
 different manner, that may be called Cojnpofite; but thefe 
 will be taken Notice of hereafter, and the Dcfigns of 
 them inferred in my Books of Antiquities. The Archi- 
 trave, Freeze and Cornice, are together a fifth of the 
 height of the Colwnn-, and by obferving what was before 
 "mentioned of the other Orders, and the Numbers mark- 
 ed in the Defign, their Proportions and Divifions may 
 ^afily be known.

 PLATE XLIV. 
 
 TF^ E Defign of thefe Plans and Elevations is intended for three 
 Town Houfes, the whole PVont is 60 Feet, and the Depth 
 -^5 Feet, and in order to render them equally convenient, as well as 
 to have fome Kind of Uniformity. I have made the Centre Houfe 
 24 Feet in Front, and the others 18 Feet, otherwife it would be very 
 inconvenient in fo Imall a Plan, the Door being in the middle. 
 
 The Front is fuppofed to be plain, with Cornice, Strings, and Or- 
 naments to Doors of Portland Stone. The Rooms of the Ground 
 Floor to be done with plain Wainfcot. The Chamber and Attick 
 to be wainfcotted 3 Feet 6 Inches high for Paper Hangings, with 
 plain Plaifter Cornices, and the Garrets and Offices below to be 
 plaiftered. The Thlcknefs of the Walls from the Foundation to the 
 Level of the Parlour Floor is 2 Bricks and a half, and the remaining 
 Heighth is 2 Bricks thick, and to have a curbed Roof to make Roon- 
 for the Garrets. The principal and Chamber Floors are each 9 
 Feet high, and the Cellars and Attick 8 Feet. 
 
 The Defign of Town Houfes fliould be to contrive as many Con 
 veniencies as may be on a fmall Plan, becaufe the Front of Grounc 
 in Streets is valuable. The Stairs of the two firft Houfes to b. 
 lighted by Sky Lights, and as the Staircafes are open'd newel'd, it wil 
 be fufficient to light to the lower Offices, which is fuppofed to bt 
 paved with P^^r/^^t/ir Paving. As to the lower Offices in any Towr 
 Houfe of fo fmall Dimenfions, it is not material whether they are 
 difpofed of in this Work, for where Families are intermixed, fuch 
 Places muft be rather adapted to the Ufe and Conveniencies of them, 
 than if they were defigned for private Families, in which the Dif- 
 pofal is often at the Caprice and Humour of the Inhabitant, or the 
 Wants and Neceffities of his Employment.
