It is only farther to be noted, that these mouldings are used
in various proportions, for all kinds of purposes: sometimes for
true cornices; sometimes for window-sills; sometimes, 3 and 4
(in the Gothic time) especially, for dripstones of gables: 11 and
such others form little plinths or abaci at the spring of arches,
such as those shown at a, Fig. XXIII. Vol. II. Finally, a large
number of superb Byzantine cornices occur, of the form shown
at the top of the arch in Plate V. Vol. II., having a profile like
16 or 19 here; with nodding leaves of acanthus thrown out
from it, being, in fact, merely one range of the leaves of a Byzantine capital unwrapped, and formed into a continuous line.
I had prepared a large mass of materials for the illustration of
these cornices, and the Gothic ones connected with them; but
found the subject would take up another volume, and was forced,
for the present, to abandon it. The lower series of profiles, 7
to 12 in Plate XV. Vol. I., shows how the leaf-ornament is laid
on the simple early cornices.
VI. Traceries.
We have only one subject more to examine, the character of
the early and late Tracery Bars.
