I r also appears, by this Table, that the Tuscan is the only Or-der to which Authors have given less than the two Diameters Iallow it: and I believe no good Reason can be given why it shouldbe so, since the Doric has sometimes an Entablature greater thanthe Ionic , Scamozgi having given that, even twenty-seven Minutesmore than the hundred and twenty 5 and the greatest Entablementwe find in the Ionic , being that of the Theatre of Marcellus , exceedsthe hundred and twenty Minutes but by twenty-five. . And it weremore reasonable to give a greater Entablature to the Tuscan , thanto the Doric Order, on account of the Thickness and Strength ofthe Tuscan Column, arising from its Shortness, in proportion to itsThickness, as has been already said.
