Fig. l.

FIGURA Quinquagesima.

Architectura Ionica.

Ex vestigio figuræ quadragesimæseptimæ, & ex elevatione figuræ quadragesimænonæ, eruitur hoc ædificium Ionicum, quod esse poterit vel principium alicujus turris campanariæ, aut basis cujuspiam arcûs triumphalis. Vereor ut cælator suam diligentiam in hoc schemate satis probaverit. Ejus tamen errata facilè ipse deteges, & omni studio cavebis.

The Fiftieth FIGURE.

A Design of Ionick Architecture.

From the Plan of the Forty-seventh Figure, and from the Upright of the Forty-ninth Figure, is drawn this Ionick Piece; which might well serve for the lower Order of a Turret, or for part of a Triumphal-Arch. I fear the Engraver has not been so exact in this Scheme, as he ought; but you will readily discover his Mistakes, and carefully beware of them.
