three Sides, is curiously engrav’d with Trophies; the Northern Side of it, where the Door is, is not engrav’d at all. The _Cornice_ of the Pedestal bends downwards. At the bottom of it is a _Reglet_, above that an _Astragal_, adorn’d with Berries; then an _Ovolo_, and above that an _Astragal_ wreath’d like a Rope. Higher yet is a _Folial_ Bandage. There projects beyond the _Pedestal_ a kind of _Abacus_; on each side of which there are two _Fasces_ of Laurel-work, the largest of which is incurvated even to the bottom of the _Abacus_. On the Sides of this _Abacus_ there is a Sculpture of seven naked Boys, holding each of them in his Hand a Laureated _Fascis_. At every Angle of this _Abacus_ there stands an Eagle, and above it is the _Plinth_ of the Pillar, adorn’d with a _Foliage_, which projects very little. Above the _Plinth_ is a _Tore_, adorn’d with Laurel-work, which is filletted with a spiral Bandage. Above the _Tore_ there rises an _Apophyge_, upon which Stands the Shaft of the Pillar, which is carv’d with the Scenes of War, and of Battles. The Sculpture is much like that which adorns the Pillar of _Trajan_ in Old _Rome_. The _Trachelium_, or Top of the _Shaft_, is fluted perpendicularly. The lower part of its _Capital_ is adorn’d with _Apophyges_, an _Ovolo_, and an _Abacus_, which projects beyond the _Shaft_ two Foot and fourteen Digits. The _Abacus_, on all sides of it, is seventeen Foot, and nine Inches round. Above the _Abacus_ there is a Door, above which the Pillar rises in the Form of a _Cone_, where there is another Door above ten Foot high. We may look upon this Pillar to be of the _Tuscan_ Order, because both the _Base_, and the _Capital_ of it, are finished after the _Tuscan_ manner. CHAP.
