Gin.for the marble quadriga at the top. We have seen that the proportionate heights of the archi-trave, frieze, and cornice, without bed-moulds, are 742, G90, and798. Above the sculptured frieze, and on the same block, isan astragal and fillet, which measures 1^ inch: as the astragalis enriched, there must have been an ovolo over, which would beabout twice and a half that dimension in height, making together51 inches, or 124 of a diameter; which, added to 798, givesthe total height of the cornice as 922 including its bed-moulds.Thus we get the Architrave -742 = 2 7-454 Frieze -690 = 2 5-025 Cornice -922 = 3 3-084 Total Entablature . . 2-354 8 3-788 * The accompanying design is drawn to the same scale as that of ProfessorCockereUs in the Classical Museum, ah-eady referred to, in order to afford moreeasy comparison.

I have thus endeavoured to show how the various dimen-sions, which at first sight appear so contradictory, may bereconciled together, both in the plan and elevation; and, secondly,how the proportions thus established correspond most perfectlywith the proportions of ancient temples. I must now considertwo or three points, respecting which there is less certainty. The first objection that may be urged against this restora-tion, will be the excessive height of the basement, and the un-sightliness of such a blank wall; and, secondly, that the pyramidbecome
