I will give a few divisions of na-tures infinity of gradations. 3. Gradation of Size. I have just mentioned a number ofgradations of size as in the fibres, branches and leaves of plants,etc. The gradation of human limbs and featuresis especially beautiful. Trees abound in manystyles of gradation. Fig. 43 shows the ordinaryround-topped tree, such as the beech, the maple,etc., in which there is a progression in direction of. Fig. 43. Fig. 44.

Fig. 45 is a spiry-topped tree, and includesin its class, cedars, firs, larches, etc. It is more at-tractive than the poplar, from its greater diversity of angles andforms, both angular and curved, and presents sharp contrasts ofdirection as well as its gradations. Fig. 46is the spire in decorated Gothic of the Ca-thedral, corner of Fifty-first Street andFifth Avenue, New York. It has a beauti-ful and g
