This plate .should be compared with the two pre-ceding plates in order to understand the great possible variation in themouldings, sections, etc. It should be mentioned that a fault in theOrder in Plate IX, Part I, is the slight projection of the triglyph, mak-ing necessary so flat a treatment of the half-channel occurring on itstwo edges that in practice it would be barely perceptible. This tri-ghph would much better have a section of as much projection as isshown in Fig. 114. Other Forms of Doric. The Doric Order from the Villa atAlbani near Rome, is shoAvn in Fig. 117.
