of Northern Gothic by its supporting bosses, and )
and apertures with an entire piece of external composition
consisting of a projecting slab with pillars and pediment,
canopies as in Brolesto of Como; Cathedral of Florence &c
Doge palace; and so also the classical windows of M.
Angelo Palazzo Ricardi, etc note also in Venice and
Verona the dripstone right round the window - a fine style

this into a balcony with shafts at the angles and a roof;
there is a beautiful one on broletto of Monza - only then
there the roof is wooden:)
Superimposition. Retaining to the question of Finland architecture and
String course; It is evident that in each we may have (4)
arch above arch (1) Frieze above frieze (2) arch over
frieze (3) frieze over arch. Thus we should have eight
nabbers; of which however only have been used extermally[;]
1. Frieze above frieze (a) CounsedL In interior of an-

tistery of Parma.
2. Frieze above frieze (b) Involved! I know no example
of this style, and I think it would be very useful.
2. Arch over friezes, a coursed; very rare; b involved
non existant.
3. Frieze over arch a coursed, as when the arc pillars
carry a vaulting shaft or rather cornice shaft, to
cornice only, as in St Ambrozio; b; involved, a most
important style, the great Palladium one of the pillar
with side fitted pilaster. St Peters and St Pauls 4 arch
over arch, b coursed, universal, c involved, constant in
Northern Gothic.
