A new and accurate method of delineating all the parts of the different orders in architecture : by means of a well contriv'd, and most easily manag'd instrument; whereon the just proportions of the principal members, and of their several parts, are so disposed, as wholly to avoid the difficulty of the fractional parts that usually attend these operations / English'd from the original Italian of Ottavio Revesi Bruti, by Thomas Malie, Gent.
