IV. THE WALL BASE. 57
marked by its also carrying certain shafts with which we
have here no concern; d is of white marble; and all are
enriched and decorated in the simplest and most -perfect
manner possible, as we shall see in Chap. XXV. And thus
much may serve to fix the type of wall bases, a type of tener
followed in real practice than any other we shall hereafter be t
enabled to determine: .for wall bases of necessity must be
solidly built, and the architect is therefore driven into the
adoption of the right form ; or if he deviate from it, it is
generally in meeting some necessity of peculiar circumstances,
as in obtaining cellars and underground room, or in preparing
for some grand features or particular parts of the wall, or in
some mistaken idea of decoration,—into which errors we had
better not pursue him until we understand something more
of the rest of the building: let us therefore proceed to consider
the wall veil.
