The latter has been compared to the robust and muscular jjropor- tions of a man, while the former has been Hkcned to the finer, more slender and delicate proportions of a woman. Yet the character of this order is likewise simplicity, which is as essential a requisite to true beauty as it is to grandeur and sublimity. ...But the sim- plicity of beautv is not inconsistent with that degree of ornament wiiich would derogate from the simplicity of the sublime. The Ionic admits widi propriety, of decorations which would be unsuit- able to the Doric. The volute of the Ionic capital, frequently ornamented with foliage, the entablature consisting of more parts, and often decorated with sculpture in basso^ and even alto nlitvo; all these have a propriety in this order of architecture, which is quite agreeable to its character.
