By Mr. Maddos. c 6 A. The size of (lie volute being first determined, tlie deptli A B is di- vided into 12 equal parts; from tlie seventli part draw tlie right line E F, as shown in diagram; tiien number li parts at the top of the volute from A, and draw a line at right angles with E F, which will give the eye of the Volute. Lines are to be drawn (dotted in the figure) from C to E, E to D, and from D to F, and -so throughout the vulute, each square diminishing to the centre, as shown above, taking care to have them exactly parallel to the opposite ones. Quadrants of circles are struck from the diagonal lines G H (45"^), which quadrants of circles all terminate where the dotted lines cut the lines C D E F. The first centre will be on the diagonal line H at 1, the second centre on the line G at 2 ; in going through the second time for the inside line the centres will be a trifle nearer the eve of the volute. The diagonal lines only are to be used fur the centres. When tlie vulute is on a larger scale, a small thin piece of transparent horn or ivory is gene- rally used to avoid the unsightly punctures in the paper. CONTROVERSIES ON CHURCH ARCHITECTURE. Sir—It is not long since there appeared in the 7Vnies newspaper two interesting letters, signed " C. S.," on the state of the church, describing " the discrepancies of condition, feeling, and opinion amongst the clergy," and dwelling on the " depressing and perplexing eftects on the young ; Take pitv, Sir, on another class who hardly suffer less from these "discrepancies," and with your valuable advice enlighten the path of the ecclesiastical architect. In the last number but one of the Cambridge Ecckswlogial, there are the following sen- tences on the proprieties of c
