FIGURA QUADRAGESIMA.

Vestigium geometricum ædificii Ordinis Dorici.

Vt studiosorum, qui sedulò se exercuerint in praxibus hucusque traditis, & ad majora inhient, utilitati serviam, delineandam suscepi medietatem arcûs cum tribus columnis, ac totidem statuarum loculamentis. Ad vitandam autem confusionem, ea dumtaxat membra in vestigio adumbrantur, quæ recensuimus figurâ trigesimaoctavâ, & ostendunt characteres A, B, C, D, E.

The FORTIETH FIGURE.

The Geometrical Plan of a Design, of the Dorick Order.

For the Benefit of the Studious, who, having reduc’d to Practice the Rules hitherto laid down, aim at yet greater Things; I have here undertaken to delineate half an Arch adorn’d with three Columns, and as many Niches for Statues. But to avoid Confusion, I have given full Lines to those Members only, which were mention’d in the Thirty-eighth Figure, and which are here denoted by the Characters A, B, C, D, E.
