the same as to the variety, the subordination, and the chap. nr.
mutual arrangement of the mouldings ; and the same
as to many of the forms which they assume, particu-
larly those shewn in Plates XX. and XXI.
Considerable varieties take place at the impost,
where the groins of the roof separate from the uprights.
Here a bracket usually appears and seems to denote
the binding by which the rods were confined in their
places. Sometimes one bracket embraces them all;
sometimes each rib has a particular small bracket of
its own. This last arrangement seems to represent a
mode of fixing the ribs by means of a rod wattled
among them alternately. In some cases, the ribs are
all of equal size; in others, they vary in that respect,
and in the order of the mouldings.
Plate XXXVIII. shews the roof of the east end of Plate
xxxviii.
the Temple Church. The aisles are equal in height,
but not in size with the nave, and the ribs branch out
on all sides.
Plate XXXIX. is a view of the chancel of St. Mary's, Plate
j xxxix.
Beverly. Here the ribs, which form the groins of the
roof, unite on the north side in a cluster at the impost,
and are continued down the pier, forming with it one
unbroken line, being destitute of either impost
