The Grecian and Roman Ionic. The parts of the Grecian have been taken from various examples, in order to combine as much as possible in one the general appearance of the order. The Roman is the modern Ionic of the Italian architects, as it has been executed for many years in England with the modillion cornice. The attic base has been applied in both instances, from the difficulty of executing a more complicated one dis- tinctly on so small a scale ; and when once this base is clearly comprehended, any other will be easily under-

stood by the description in the former part of this work.
