Corinthian Pilasters. Of the use of pilasters with the Greek Corinthian Order, we have only one authoritative instance—that of the Tower of the Winds at Athens. There is no pilaster used with the Corinthian Order on either of the other examples, the Monument of Lysicrates or the Tholos at Epidauros; and in this example from the Tower of the Winds, illustrated in Fig. 95, the pilaster was used, only on each side of the entrance doorway to receive the entablature re turning from the small pedimented porch, which is more fully shown in the illustration of this building in Fig. 74.
In addition to the following examination plates, the student is advised to make such sketches or drawings of the different parts of the Order from the descriptions and references in the text as will enable him to thoroughly understand their different parts and their general forms and proportions.
The following plates are to be drawn out to the required sizes, as indicated in the following section. The plates should be carefully and thoroughly drawn out in pencil before attempting to ink them in. All the large plates are to be drawn on a half-sheet of Strathmore smooth-finish or Whatman's hot-pressed drawing paper, with the border line laid out to the size given, 12 by 1G? inches; and the paper should be trimmed with a half-inch border outside this line, making the paper size of the finished plate 13 by 17A inches.
The measurement figures given on the various plates may be omitted from the drawings made by the student.
The titles of the plates are to be lettered, generally speaking, in the same fashion as the lettering on the principal drawings illus trating the foregoing section. The student should first be care ful to place pencil guidelines at the top and bottom of his letters, both for capitals and small letters.
The date, the student's name and address, and the plate num ber should be lettered on each plate in one-line letters, such as are used in the title of Fig. 73.
The student is to draw out to the size of 12 by 1Gi inches a plate showing Greek moulding sections. This plate is to include all the mouldings described in the text on pages 109 to 113; and he is to letter each moulding with its proper name. He is to utilize mouldings from the plates illustrated in this Instruction Paper, and may arrange them in the general fashion shown in Fig. 46, obtaining another perpendicular row of mouldings in addition to the eight illustrated in that cut.

The student is to draw out on a plate 12 by 16/ inches in size, a Greek Ionic pedimented facade of four or six columns. It is suggested that he take one of the porches of the Erechtheum for a model.

The north porch of this building is further shown in Plate XLIV and Fig. 68.
