Thefe

In every order its quantity of diminution may be the fame,
which is ten minutes; but in my examples the Tufcan and
Doric are rather more.

Laftly, all the orders, except the Doric, have their cornices
to project as much as they rife; but in the Doric the cornice
projects one quarter part more than it rifes.

In every order, without exception, the bafe of each co-
lumn is thirty minutes, or half a diameter, high; and, in the
Tufcan, Doric, and Ionic, the height of the capitals is the fame;
but in the Compoiite and Corinthian their capitals are each of
them feventy minutes.

In every order the plinth of the pedeflal and its cornice
are equal in projection; that is, one perpendicular lineferves to
determine the projection of both.

In every order the projection of the bafe at the bottom of
the fhaft is ten minutes; or, which is the fame thing, the di-
ameter of each fhaft being divided into fix, one of them is fet
forward for the projection of the bafe.
