		peculiarly bold & fine.
		- quite ancient in their
		character. The bases
		are all simple and fine -
		pure filleted leaves. as in
the early ones of the outer upper arcade.
 - the balustrades pure and fine: the capital
leaves deeply and angularly incised, rarely
ribbed and
on the whole - being like those of 2nd  order. A. in
lower arcade. especially the 22nd  and 14th.

The angle pier counted as 1. is the
commencement of the fine series. they [seem?]
along the extremity of the cortile only: those
on the piazzetta side are a series of
Bon imitations.
