jT is by your Commands that I have finissied this
Treatise of the Ancient Architecture compared with
the Modern, which I had altogether laid afide, and
even essacd out of Mind since the Decease of Mon*
feigneur de Koyers, to whom I had devoted it, as to
the Mectenas os the Age, and more particularly, for
being indeed the true Author of this Book; since I
had never taken it in Hand, but by his special Order, and to afford
him some little Entertainment during his Solitude of Dangu, where
he was pleased, and indeed desired, 1 stiould sollow him aster his Re-
treat srom the Court, there to enjoy with him that Sweetness and
Tranquillitv os Lise, which we were never before acquainted with dur-
(d) ing
