66 The Ordonnance of the Part II.

Chap.HI. ay dJKtt cfo—»The-jectufe- -Hollow « one Fifth oftie little Module, taken from the Naked of the Die, that of the Fil-let of the Cymaise is three Fifths.

| The Character, of this Base, is taken from the Ionic Order oftie Temple of Manly Fortune , and differs from it in nothing, buttpat the latter has a Fillet between the upper Part of the Cymaise,Jid the Fillet of the Hollow ; and, that the Fillet of the Cymaisei| extraordinary large. Dalladio and Scamozgj, instead of the littleHllet, which is between the Cymaise and the Hollow, put anAstragal.

Cornice | The Members of the Cornice, which are three in the Tuscan 9of the |nd four in the Doric, are five in number here: namely, a Hollow

Pedestal, fdth its Fillet above, and a Drip, or hanging Square, crown dwith-an Ogee and its Fillet. To find the Heights of these Mem-bers, divide that of the whole Cornice into ten Parts, as it is divi-ded into nine in the Doric , and eight in the Tuscan : two of theseParts are given to the Hollow, and one to its Fillet; four to theDrip, two to the Ogee, and one to its Fillet. The. Projecture ofthe Hollow is one Fifth and a Half of the little Module, taken fromthe Naked of the Die, that of the Drip is three 3 and that of theOgee and its Fillet, is four.

The Character of this Cornice has no Agreement either withthat of the Antique , or the Moderns : In the Temple of Manly For -tune y it consists of ten Members, which make it strangely confus’d :and one may fay, that the Cornices of Dalladio and Scamo^i arealso too full of Members for the Order 3 those that they prescribefor the Corinthian and Composite , not having more than they allowthis.
