Of the CORINTHIAN ORDER.

THe Corinthian Column is Tenfold in thick∣ness, and therefore its height is to be of 20 Models, whereof one is allowed to its Base, 2 ⅓ to its Capital; and so the Shaft of the Column will be of 16 Models. The Column it self will be of 30 Parts in heighth, that is to say, of 1 ⅔ Model.

The Figures marked H, I, K, L, and M, re∣present the Corinthian Order. In that marked K, the Letter A shews the upper Torus, or Swathe; and B, the Nether Torus, or Swathe. In that marked L, the Letters A, B, together, are called the Abacus of the Capital; but for distin∣ction A is taken for the Cimatium of the Abacus; the Stalks C; D, the lesser Leaves; E, the mid∣dle Leaves; F, the under Leaves; and G, the Flowers. The Figure H, shews the manner of designing the Capital. That of I, the Capital, Architrave, Friese, and Cornish. That of K, the Base, and Pedestal. That of L, an Example of the Pillars. And that of M, of Pilasters.
