many breadths, cut fo as to anfwer its fliape, a gimp may be
hitched on to hide the tacks and give the dome a more rich ap-
pearance. But if the dome be large, it may have fmall gilt
moulding in place of the gimp, which are fixed to the dome by
gilt-headed fcrews.
For the infide of the dome, it will be requilTte to have a
gilt moulding, to hide the joining of the under and upper teller,
and to ferve as an architrave to the dome.
The triangular compartments at each corner of the teller,
occalioned by the manner of framing it to fuit the dome, iliould
have fmall mouldings put on to fuit that fliape, which will take
off the flat and heavy appearance it would otherwife have, and
add to the effedt of the whole. As for any other particular
with refpedt to ornaments, what has already been obferved on
hip-domes may alfo be applied here.
With refpeff to the dome deferibed by Fig. 37, I do not
think it neceffary to go through an explanation of it after what
has been faid on Fig. 33, which, if the reader has fully under-
ftood, he cannot fail to be acquainted with the lines laid down
in Fig. 37, merely from infpedfion, efpecially as I have marked
each correfponding line with fimilar letters and numbers.
