. Cottage, lodge, and villa architecture. the caulicoli and height of the principal volutesis three-fourths of one of these droop or descent of the tips ofthe leaves is one-third of the heightassigned to them; their form is seenmore explicitly in the engravings,which give the general form of thefoliage before it is cut, in whichfig. 1 is the elevation, and fig. 2the semi-plan of the capital. It willbe seen that the circumference of thebell is divided between eight leavesin eacli tier. The abacus, which isseen in both these figures, is supposedto be cut from a square plinth, shownin dot lines in the plan, the diagonalsof which measure two diameters ofthe column; the curvature of eachside is an arc of a circle, of whichthe centre is formed by constructingan equilateral triangle upon the sideof the square, the vertex of thetriangle being the centre. Figs. 3and 4 show the general form andmanner of raffling the leaves.

The architrave is three-fourths of a diameter high, the frieze is two-thirds, and the cornice one and a twelfth. Dividing the height of the architrave intofive parts, one of these is due to the fillet, the quirked cyma-reversa, and the bead;the other four parts are divided equally among the three fascia which compose the Fig 5.
