is 7 „ 8 round at the base, and 7 „ 4 under capital, are yet on the
average 7 ,, 7 high. The angle shaft towards the sea (the 18th)
is nearly of the proportions of the 36th, and there are three
others, the 15th, 24th, and 26th, which are thicker than the
rest, though not so thick as the angle ones. The 24th and 26th
have both party walls to bear, and I imagine the 15th must in
old time have carried another, reaching across what is now the
Sala del Gran Consiglio.

The other pillars towards the sea, and those to the 27th inclusive of the Piazzetta, are all seven feet round at the base, and then
there is a most curious and delicate crescendo of circumference

The shafts of the upper arcade, which are above these thicker
columns, are also thicker than their companions, measuring on the
average, 4 ,, 8|- in circumference, while those of the sea facade,
except the 29th, average 4 „ 7i in circumference. The 29th,
which is of course above the 15th of the lower story, is 5 „ 5 in
circumference, which little piece of evidence will be of no small
value to us by-and-by. The 35th carries the angle of the palace,
and is 6 ,, 0 round. The 47th, which comes above the 24th and
carries the party wall of the Sala del Gran Consiglio, is strengthened by a pilaster; and the 51st, which comes over the 26th, is
