form.® to be "nought in twenty strias, which,*° he twenty angles ; but if they are hollowed,s performed: A square is described whose
sides are equal to the interval of a strim ; in the centre ofthe square, the central point of the compasses is placed, and acircular line drawn, touching the angles of the square ; andthat portion of the curve which is between the lines of thecircle, and the square, forms the hollow of the strim. Thus,the Doric column will have its proper kind of striature.With regard to the swelling which it has in the middle, it isthe same as has been described for Ionic columns.”
To exemplify this order, and illustrate the true GrecianDoric , we have chosen that beautiful specimen from themagnificent portico of the Parthenon, at Athens , exhibitedin Plate I.: the proportions are numbered in minutes, in theusual way. The outline exhibits the profile of the flank,and the finished order shows the profile-on the front of theportico, adjoining that represented by the outline.

Plate III.—A finished plate of the same, from Sir Wm.Chambers, who took his example from Vignola.
