being a complete development of the Grecian orders of architecture : methodised and arranged in such a simple, plain, and comprehensive manner, as to be easily understood : each example being fashioned according to the style and practice of the present day : containing one example of the Tuscan order, three examples of the Doric order, three examples of the Ionic order, one example of the Corinthian order, and one example of the composite order, with all their details drawn to a large scale : to which are added, a series of designs for porticos, frontispieces, doors, windows, caps and sills, sash-frames, sashes and shutters, base and sur-base mouldings, architraves, chimney-pieces, trusses for roofs and partitions, stairs, &c., engraved on sixty-four large quarto copper-plates
