Excerpt from Revised Edition of the New Universal Moulding Book: Containing Latest Styles of Mouldings and Architectural Designs of Exterior and Interior Finish, in Great Variety The decorated mouldings are more diversified than the early English, though in large suits rounds and hollows continue for the most part to prevail; the hollows are often very deeply cut, but in many instances, especially towards the end of the style, they become shallower and broader; ovolos are not very uncommon, and ogees are frequent; splays also are often used, either by themselves or with other mouldings; fillets placed upon larger members are abundant, especially in the early part of the style, and a round moulding, with a sharp projecting edge on it, arising from one-half being formed from a smaller curve than the other, is frequently used; this is characteristic of decorated work, and is very common ln string-courses; when used hori zontally the larger curve is placed uppermost; there is also another moulding, convex in the middle and concave at each extremity, which, though sometimes found in the perpendicular style, may be considered as generally character istic of the decorated.
