Historic Ornament, Vol. 1 (of 2): Treatise on decorative art and architectural ornament

A quoted passage on p. 326, begins with “It was built probably...”,
and apparently continues into the following paragraph (without the
conventional opening quotation mark) and ends with “... total height
is 33 feet 6 inches.” It is unclear how much of this passage is a
direct quotation, since it includes a reference to an illustration
in the current text. In any case, it is given here as printed.
Any errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been
corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and
line in the original. The following issues should be noted, along
with the resolutions.
