To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This moulding is broken over the triglyphs, and the drops under it are hung from the lower extremity of the fillet. The triglyphs in the frieze are so distributed as to form the metopes into a geometrical square ; and the metopes themselves are decorated with sculpture of a very rich character. A mutule is placed directly over each triglyph, the edges of which are composed of a cymatium with a fillet above it ; and, hung to its plancer, are thirty-six conical drops, six in front and six in flan...k, whose lengths are equal to their largest diameter. The mutule fin- ishes against a band, or fillet, which is immediately above the capping and separated by it from the triglyph. The corona has a great projection, and together with the crown moulding has likewise a very respectable breadth. The cornice and frieze are well propor- tioned to each other and to the whole composition. They partake more strongly of the original Doric character than those of any other Roman example. The architrave is too low and in bad taste.
