(, e/ seq.),wherein we have entered on the subject at such length that we refrain from saying morein this place. We may, liowever, observe, that the application of the princii)les therementioned are so intimately connected with this section, that the separation of one from tlieother would destroy all our scheme for keeping tlie student in the right path.

Hetherefore avoids the main question byattributing the pycnostyle interco-lumniation rather to necessity thanclioice ; observing, that as the ar-cliitraves were composed of singlestones or blocks of marble, extendingfrom the axis of one colu
