Excerpt from A Treatise on the Five Orders of Architecture: Compiled From the Works of Sir William Chambers, Palladio, Vignola, Gwilt and Others, With Illustrations, Notes and Essays on Various Phases of Classical Architecture The compiler of this work has endeavored to adhere closely to the rules and proportions as laid down by that eminent architect, Sir William Chambers, who based all his efforts on the rules and usages as practiced by the old masters, and which, up to this date, have never been superseded. There have been many attempts made by modern architects, to modify and change the proportions, and the assembling of the various orders; and while there has been a partial success in some instances, the greater number of these departures have been more or less failures, some of them miserable failures, and it would have been much better all round, if no departure had been attempted.
