The Fifty-fourth FIGURE.

The Plan of a Design of the Corinthian Order.

Being to describe an Octangular Corinthian Work, I have here inserted the Plan of one Quarter of the Composition; which is vaulted in Form of a Cupola, as is seen in the Fifty-eighth Figure. To render the Plan less confus’d, I have, in the lower part of the Plate, given the Geometrical Plan of the Pedestal; and in the upper part, that of the Cornice; with the Breadths and Lengths of each Member: so that by transferring the same into the Ground-line, after the usual Manner; you delineate each Plan in Perspective. For avoiding Confusion, ’twill be requisite first, to transfer the Points of those Members that are next the Solidity of the Wall; and then proceed to the others.
