Excerpt from The American Vignola, Vol. 2: Arches and Vaults, Roofs and Domes, Doors and Windows, Walls and Ceilings, Steps and StaircasesVignola. Chapters were added on the Intercolumniation and Superposition of Columns, and on Parapets, Balustrades string-courses, Pediments, and Attics.In the Preface I said that the employment of these Elements in the composition of Doors and Windows, Wall Surfaces, Staircases, Towers and Spires, Arches and Arcades, Vaults and Domes, might some day be made the subject of a separate treatise which would be the natural sequel of the first. The present publica tion fulfils this promise, except that Towers and Spires are not among the topics taken up. It contains also, under the heading of Wall Treatment, a discussion of Coupled Pilasters, and of the treatment of Pilasters and of Cornices on external and internal angles, which might perhaps just as well have been put into the other volume.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
