PLATE IX.
CIRCULAR TEMPLES.
No. I. Monument to the honour of Lysicrates,
a victor in the public games, at Athens; called by
the modern Greeks, (but without authority), the
Lanthorn of Demosthenes. This is one of the
most elegant little buildings existing \ the peculiar
richness of the roof, and of the entablature, merits
notice. It is supposed, the tripod won by Lysi-
crates, stood on the top of the ornament on the
roof.
No. II. Section of the monument of Lysi crates.
No. III. Elevation of a temple at Tivoli, com-
monly called the Sibyl's temple; but rather de-
dicated to Vesta.
No. IV. A Monopteral temple, i\ e. having
but one row of pillars, which support the roof, and
being open, without any wall to form the body or
cell of the temple.
Circular temples have a very pretty effect, in
gardens, pleasure grounds, and parks: and they
are much used in such decoration.
