he height of- the column and entablature taken to-
gether. It is. sometimes made lower, but never.
higher.

The pedestal is divided into—the base (at
bottom); the die, or square part (in the middle);
and the surbase, or cap, (at the higher part).

The column is divided into—the base, the
shatt, the capital.

The entablature is divided into—the archi-
trave, the frieze, and the cornice.

IN drawing the Dor ic order, erect a line of the
just height required; one-fifth (as A B,) is the height
of the pedestal. Divide the remainder into five
parts,; four to the column (as 1, 2, 3, 4, or B C)
one to the entablature (as 4, 5, or CD). The
column divided into eight parts (as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8) one-eighth is the diameter. The base is
half a diameter (as from B, ~); and the capital half
a diameter (as from C).. The base of the column
projects on each side one-third of a semi-diameter
(as 1, 2, 3, 4): Exactly of equal projection to the
base (constantly) is the die of the pedestal. The
column diminishes at the top one-sixth of its
diameter; beginning at one-third of its height, (as
at a, b,) which ought to be divided into six parts;
of which one is gradually diminishing as it ascends.
The capital - projectb one-fourth of the smaller
diameter (?. e. at top) of the column. The enta-
blature is divided into eight parts (8s between C
and D); two to the architrave; three to the frieze,
and three to the cornice. The architrave projects
one-sixth of its Height; the cornice projects one
