Measures of fig 3 No 32.
be natural size, but guessed: it must therefore be compared with
in its measures opposite: Now this pilaster head carries of
a b 2 course only the moulding of one side of an arch, ie. B E.
b c ¾ of fig 2 No 32: In that section A is the opposite dentil
c d or d e ¾ of the moulding of next arch on capital head: In the
e f ([diagram]) 2 7/8 pilaster the line C is the house wall: from which this
f g 1 pilaster abacus has th4 same excess as the shaft abacus
g h ([diagram]) 7 ([diagram]) 6¾ from its stone swork: ie. - a h2 of fig-3 = 1 1/3 in.
h i ([diagram]) 2 and this point h2 is in the pilaster, vertically above the
a g 7 point i; the pilaster side: I apprehend that by calculating
ft. from their circumferences, the excess of the shaft abacus
a i (sum) 1 " 3 over the shaft is greater: at all events I find the
interval between the shafts at top 4 ft ¼ in.
At M in fig 2 is shown the spring of the arch: the dentils, singularly & the interval between the shaft and pilaster, 3 " 10 but this
long, measured real size: 18 on each side of arch: up to was at the bottom where the shaft was thicker. The section
those marked 18th in fig 4 which shows the arch apex with of the pilaster I think peculiarly beautiful, the varying
imposed bars of finial. angle of c d & f g and the point g thrown within e.
gives it exquisite grace: Its diamonds too are oblong instead
of square: the one turning the angle is curious: p p is 1¾ in.
and there are 9 diamonds, counting pp the first: to the
back of cusp: On its face the pilaster abacus F is only
7 in wide, and is charged with 4 diamonds besides the
angle one, but narrower than p p and nearly square.
