the Herculean Orders of which order fome temples were formerly
built, and dedicated to. Hercules as well as to Apollo.
It is generally ufed in large and ftrong, buildings, as in the
gates of cities, and at the outiide of churches. And, as its enta-
blature is of a very large projection, it is generally employed in
fituations where ihelter is required.
The whole height of the entire order is divided into five'
equal parts ; one of which is the height of the pedeftaL The
column and entablature is divided into five alfo ; four of thefe
parts are afligned for the height of the column, including the
bafe and capital; thefe four parts are again divided into eight-
equal parts, one of which is given for the inferior diameter of
the fhaft. The entablature is two diameters in height, its cor-
nice is forty-five minutes, and its projection is one module. The
fhaft fometimes is left plain, and fometimes it is fluted. The
number of flutes is twenty or twenty-four, and the depth and
curvature of them are determined by drawing an arch from the
fummit of an equilateral triangle, whofe fides are equal to the
breadth of the flutes, as at o.
To- diminifli the flutes in proportion to the column,
divide the upper two-thirds of the fhaft into four, and find the
femicircles I, 2, 3,4, 5, in the fame manner as was taught in the
Tufcan order. Then divide each of thefe femicircles into ten
