Wherein Their Pedestals, Columns, Entablatures, Imposts, and Arches, are taken from the best Examples of the Ancients, and proportioned by equal Parts, in a more concise, accurate, and easy Manner, than has been done in any Language. For the Instruction Of Apprentices and Journeymen Masons, Bricklayers, Carpenters, Joiners, Carvers, Turners, Painters, Plaisterers, Cabinet-Makers, &c. (and such Masters) who are unacquainted with so much Architecture, as is absolutely necessary for them to understand, in their respective Professions.
