An attempt to discriminate the styles of architecture in England, from the conquest to the reformation : with a sketch of the Grecian and Roman orders . , whose disposition, like the Ionic,must be one over the centre of the column, and one close to thereturn of the cornice. These modillions are carved with a small balustre front, anda leaf under them; they are surrounded at the upper part bya small ogee and fillet, which also runs round the face theyspring from. Under the modillions is placed an ovolo, and thena fillet and the dentil face, which is often left uncut in exteriorw^ork. Under the dentils are a fillet and ogee. In some casesthis order is properly worked with a plain cornice, omitting themodillions, and leaving the dentil face imcut [as at Tivoli]. The enrichments of this order may be very considerable;some of the mouldings of the pedestal and base may be en-riched ; the shaft may be fluted, as the Ionic, in twenty-fourflutes, which may be filled one-third high by staves, which iscalled cabling the flutes ; the small mouldings of the architrave,and even some of its faces, and several mouldings of the cornice.
