To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Say they, " It is nothing more than the Doric deprived of the mutules and triglyphs, and a diameter or two added to the height of the column." I cannot perceive the justness of these remarks. If any one of the orders is to be altered into the Tuscan, the Ionic* would certainly be more suitable for that purpose than the Doric. Change its capital and base for those of the Tuscan, leave off the flutings on the shaft of the column, and deprive it of a diameter or two in height, and the change is co...mplete. In the examples of this order, as here exhibited, the column is seven diameters in height, including the capital. This seems to have been the universal standard of its height, from the time of Vitruvius down to the present. Nevertheless, during a long course of practice, it is probable that in half of the instances, where I have had occasion to draw either of the orders, I have found the estab- lished proportions ill suited to my purpose. Many circumstances render different proportions both proper and necessary.
