                                   Plate V.
  Is an elevation, equally appropriate for the Italian style of residence;
the effect
will not be so handsome as the foregoing design, but it will be equally advan-
tageous and more suited to a small villa, and less expensive. The ornaments
in
the accompanying plate are chiefly of this character, and can be either worked
in
relief, or painted in turpentine colour, and shaded in different tints after
the usual
manner. The former plan, ornamented in relief, would have the better effect,
and
would not be much more expensive. Parts of this ornament might be gilt, as
well as the bead moulding which connects the four angle corners: this would
considerably enrich the decoration. The scroll corner is an exceedingly classical
and elegant ornament, and is to be found one among the few now remaining
from
antiquity. It was also much used by the ancient Romans, who derived their
knowledge and their taste from the Greeks.
                                  Plate VI.
   In this engraving will be shown the detail of Plate V. an enlarged view
of
the corner, so as to give every facility to the workmen in the drawing out
and
enlarging the design.
   The upright mouldings must be faithfully found with a plumb line, as nothing
is
 so annoying to the eye of an observer as a deviating line.
          Figure 1 is the corner, the chief merits of which have been fully
        noticed in our description of Plate V.
  Figure 2 is a different design, formed from the honeysuckle. This
ornament is given in order to have a variety, or choice, in the selection
of ornaments.
   Should the one in the large elevation not be approved, the corner
figure 2 could be adopted.
