'Here Legrand, having re–heated the parchment, submitted it to my inspection.

The dimensions of the Composite capital are the same as those of the Corinthian, but differs from it in the voluta, ovolo, and fusarolo, which members are attributed to the Ionick. The method of forming which is thus: From the abaco downwards the capital is to be divided into three parts, as in the Corinthian; the first to be given to the first leaf, the second to the second, and the third to the voluta, which is formed in the same manner, and with the same points with which it was made, and takes up so much of the abaco that it seems to grow out of the ovolo near the flower, which is placed in the middle of the curvature of said abaco, and is as thick in front as the blunt part that is made over the hornes thereof, or a little more. The thickness of the ovolo is three parts in five of the abaco. Its lower part begins parallel with the lower part of the eye of the voluta, and projects three parts of four of this height, and is with its projecture perpendicular to the curvature of the abaco, or a little more."
