 SYSTEM of ARCHITECTURE, 
 
 Delineated in a Variety of 
 
 PLANS and ELEVATIONS; 
 
 Together with 
 
 Offices and Out-Buildings proportioned thereto, and appropriated to the feveral 
 
 Ules and Situations required ; 
 
 AND 
 
 ESTIMATES of each DESIGN. 
 
 Prefixed to thefe are 
 
 Ten different Sorts of PIERS, with GATES of various Compofitions fuitable to the fame ; 
 
 intended for Entrances to Courts, Gardens, &c. 
 
 ALSO 
 
 New Architectonic Rules for‘drawing the Members, in all Kinds and Proportions of the Orders. 
 
 To which is added, 
 
 A Method of Discharging and Supporting of ARCHES in BRIDGES, 
 
 As it often happens that there is a finking in the Piers. 
 
 The Whole comprifed on Forty-feven Copper-Plates, with Explanations thereto in common Fiefs Work.

E F A C E 
 
 To the R E A D E R. 
 
 A S necefiity was the parent of building, convenience fhould be the Architect’s firft view; 
 
 this in the following defigns I have made the principal and foundation; as to beauty 
 and magnificence, they are fchemes inexhauftible, fimplicity is the bafis of beauty; 
 as decoration is of magnificence ; harmony is the refult of the firft, and proportion elegantly com¬ 
 pos’d is the certain effedt of the latter; and inthefe I have us’d all poffible diligence to regulate 
 the whole in the neateft and moft exact manner, with regard as well to convenience, as to 
 beauty and decoration. 
 
 When I began this work, I intended only 15 defigns for fmall edifices, from 2,00/. to 700/. 
 value, but by the advices of fome friends who approv’d of what I had begun, I have added to 
 them 16 defigns more: The value of the largeft of which does not exceed 6000/. 
 
 And in order to render thofe defigns more univerfally ufeful, as well to artificers concern’d in 
 building, as to gentlemen and others of higher dignity, I have made eftimates of each defign ; 
 calculated by the magnitude of the plan, by the area or great fquare, and in this I think, I can 
 fafelv fay ; the difference in the expence of building in moft parts of England or Ireland , where 
 a gentleman is oblig’d to buy his materials, will be little more than 5 pound in 100/. 
 this by obfervation and experience in many parts, upwards of co years being employ’d therein, 
 I can with the greater certainty affert. 
 
 When 1 had finilh’d thefe defigns, I confider’d the ufefulnefs of fome orders, and propor¬ 
 tions neceffary for piers, and gates, for entrances to courts, gardens, &c. and thefe I have re¬ 
 gulated 
 
PR E F A C E. 
 
 gulated and proportion’d in a method entirely new, and I have prefix’d them to the work as a 
 preparatory mtrodudHon in 12 plates 5 alio one plate fhevving the ule of architectonick rules 
 which is more methodically explain’d in the latter part of this book. ’ 
 
 The drawings of the whole being compleated, and having time on my hands, curiofity led 
 me to view the lunk pier of the new bridge at Weftminfter (which was the firft time I 
 was on that work) an accident or misfortune of that kind, in fo great a ftru&ure, and which 
 was erefled toi publick utility, put me immediately upon thinking how the evil mio-htbe re 
 medied, and prevent any future mifchance to that noble defign; the refult ofthefe thoughts wal 
 the fchemel annex’d at the end of the work, being a prebpeftive view of the 2 arches ad join in 2 
 and the funk pier with the trufs, Me. intending to fecure them. This I laid before the rmht ho¬ 
 nourable and honourable the commiffioners of the bridge for their confideration, and lb all with 
 pleafure think myfelfwell employ’d, if myfentimentsinthe whole or in part may be found ufeful 
 as one of fociety; every individual has aright to contribute his fentiments for the publick good * 
 and if mine may be thought worthy their notice, I have done no more than the duty of every 
 being in community, though itfhould not any thing contribute to my own immediate intereft 
 Thefe are the principal things I have to fay on this fubjeiT, and I hope my explanations and 
 remarks on 10 noble a Science as Architecture, and properly introduc’d, I have found an 
 innocent and agreeable amufement in the compofition of them, as I hope the reader will in 
 the perulal; and whatever may farther contribute to it in this fcience, I may perhaps in fome 
 future elTay attempt to lay before the publick : But before I conclude, I beg leave to acknow- 
 edge my gratitude to my ingenious friend Mr. Robert Morrice architect, to whom I communi- 
 
 cated my defigns, who gave me his friendly opinion on the fame and am his and the 
 publicks

 parts thick, and prqjeds 11 ; A B is equal 
 to B C, and is divided into 6 equal parts; 1 
 is given to the projedion of the fillet at A, 
 and 1 to the foot of the cima reverfa at C, the 
 curves are (truck from the interfeding arches a b, and the 
 corona projeds 8 parts, whofe lip D E is 1 and 
 
 1 from E to K the center of the throat, from whence 
 ftrike the femicircle E 1F-, then divide the quadrant IF 
 into 2 equal Parts as at G, and fet on the fillet at H, draw 
 the line G H, then defcribe the curve of the cima reda 
 from the interfeding arches c and d. The thicknelles 
 and projedions of all the members are meafured by the 
 diagonal fcale as figured on the draughts.

 enough to contain the height and projection of the largeft 
 cornice, or moulding your work requires, and mark a 
 middle line on the flat fide, (See D E) on one fide of 
 which let the hieghts of all the members, (as the fide 
 R R, on the rule P ) alfo F G, whereon mark all the 
 projections, (as the fide SS, on the rule P then is 
 Pi^the rule for the tufcan cornice, which anfwers the 
 ends of D E and F G. Thefe lafl I am oblig’d to reprefent 
 by two rules in the example, becaufe of (hewing all the 
 heights and projections at one view; and on the other 
 flat fide of the rule P ^ may be mark’d the architeCtrave 
 with bafe and capital of the column, or any other mould¬ 
 ings required.

 Firft, draw the perpendicular wall line XT, of a length 
 at pleafure, and fet on the intended height M N, from 
 
 which draw the lines M W and NV, of a length at plea¬ 
 fure, at right angles with M N ■, then take the fide R R 
 or H 1 and fet the divifion or foot mark’d t on the point 
 M, and move the end / ’till the divifion p, which is the 
 top bed touches the line N U, then with a pencil point out 
 the feveral divifions, i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, through 
 which draw lines for the height of the feveral members, 
 parallel with N U. 
 
 To fet on the projections, take the fide SS or KL, 
 and fet the mark 10 on the point N, or any other part 
 of the wall line XI, and move the end L about, ’till K 
 L is at right angles with HI, then from the divifions 10, 
 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, with a pencil point 
 out the feveral projections, and draw them parallel with 
 X T, then draw the feveral moulded corves in the ufual 
 manner, which gives the requir’d cornice MNO, and
