Measures of fig 3 No 32. CA DANIELI
in Be natural size, but guessed: it must therefore be c[o]m-
a b 2 pared with its measures opposite: Now this pilaster
b c ¾ had carries of course only the moulding of one side of an
c d or d e ¾ arch, i.e. B E of fig 2 No 32: In that wection A is
e f ( ) 2 7/8 the opposite dentil of the moulding of neck arch on capi-
f g 1 tal head: In the pilaster the line C is the house wall:
g h ( ) 7 (-) 6¾ from which this pilaster abacus has th4 same excess as
h i ( ) 2 the shaft abacus from its stone swork: i.e. - a h2 of fig-[3]
a g 2 7 1 1/3 in. and this point h2 is in the pilaster, vertically
ft above the point i; the pilaster side: I appregend
a i (sum) 1 " 3 that by calculating from their circumferences, the excess
of the shaft abacus over the shaft is greater: at all
events I find the interval between the shafts at top
4 ft ¼ in and the interval between the shaft and pilaster
At M in fig 2 is shown the spring of the arch: the den- 3 " 10 but this was at the bottom where the shaft was
tils singularly long, measured real size: 18 on each thicker. The section of the pilaster I think peculiarly
side of arch: up to those marked 18th in fig k which beautiful, the varying angle of c d and f g and the point
shows the arch apex with inposed loss of final. 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 charg-
ed with 4 diamonds besides the angle one, but narrower
than p p and nearly square.
