PLATE XXXII. and XXXIII.
To proportion the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, Orders, on a subplinth, or
on their own plinth, to any place required. 
Divide the height for the Doric order into 11 parts: one of those parts is
equal to the diameter of the column. Give one to the subplinth, and two to
the entablature; that is, 30 to the architrave, 45 to the firze, 45 to the
cornices, and 8 to the column, including base and cap. The base at large,
fig. B; the cap at large, fig. A; the entablature at large, and planceer
of the cornices, fig. C, plate XXXIII. If the columns be set on its own plinth,
divide the height into 10 parts, one of which is the diameter.
To proportion the Ionic Order to any place required, on a subplinth, or on
its own plinth.
Divide the height into 12 parts; one is the diameter of the column. Give
1 to the subplinth; 2 to the entablature, and 9 to the column, including
base and cap; fig. D, the base at large; fig E. the cap at large. If the
column be set on its own plinth, divide the height into 11 parts, one of
which is the diameter.
Note, All the parts are figured from a scale made on the diameter of the
column, as the scales A and B in plates XXXII. and XXXIII: the pairs are
taken from the scales, and given to the mouldings, in height and projection,
as figured. The entablature at large, with the planceer of the cornices,
fig. F, plate XXXIII.
To proportion the Corinthian Order to any place required, on any subplinth.
Divide the height into 13 parts; one is the diameter of the column. Give
1 to the subplinth, 2 to the entablature, and 10 to the column, including
base and cap. If the column be set on it s own plinth, divide the height
into 12 parts, and one is the diameter. Fig. E, the Corinthian entablature,
and planceer of the cornices; fig. C. and fig. D, in plate XXXII. the base
and cap at large to the Corinthian column; fig. F, cap for the pilaster to
ditto; fig. G, an antique Ionic cap: all the measures figured from the scale
A B.
Note, the Triglyphs in the Doric frieze are 30 minutes in front; the distance
from center to center is 75 minutes; and the interval between is 45 minutes,
equal to the height  of the frieze.
The breadth of the Ionic modillion is 10 minutes; from center to center 31
minutes; the interval 21 minutes.
The breadth of the Corinthian modillion  is 11 1/2 minutes; from center to
center 35 minutes; the interval between 23 1/2 minutes.
Two diameters 36 minutes, from center to center of columns, take 2 triglyphs;
3 diameters 45 minutes take 3 triglyphs; 5 diameters, 4 triglyphs; 6 diameters
15 minutes, take 5 triglyphs; 7 diameters 30 minutes, 6 triglyphs.
In the Ionic order, 3 diameters 37 minutes, 7 modillions; 4 diameters 8 minutes,
8 modillions; 5 diameters 10 minutes, take 10 modillions; 6 diameters 12
minutes, take 12 modillions.
In the Corinthian, 7 diameters take 12 modillions. The columns must be placed
to receive the modillions, as above calculated, &c.
Seven diameters 35 minutes, take 13 modillions; 6 diameters 25 minutes, take
11 modillions; 5 diameters 50 minutes, take 10 modillions, and so in proportion.
For instance; suppose a frontispiece of the Corinthian order to a front door,
the width of which is 3 feet 6 inches, and the height 7 feet 4 inches, that
height is to be divided into 11 parts; one of 
Them
