r _False Periptere_; for the Disposition of the _Pillars_ was equal to that of the _Pillars_ of the _Periptere_: This _Temple_ having 6 _Pillars_ in the _Front_, and behind, and 11 in the _Isles_ or _Wings_; but the Disposition of the Walls of the _Temple_ was different in this, that they extended even to the _Pillars_, which made no _Portico_, for they were joyned to the Walls, except those of the _Porch_ which were insulated, or stood alone like Islands. The Round _Temples_ were of 2 sorts; The first were called _Monopteres_, because they had no Walls, having only an _Isle_ or _Wing_; viz. _Pillars_ which supported a _Coupe_. Their Proportion was, that dividing the whole _Temple_ into three, one part was allowed for the _Steps_ upon which the _Pillars_ were placed, which had their height equal to the distance that there was from one _Pillar_, to that which was Diametrically opposite to it. The Second Sort which was called _Periptere_, had _Pillars_ upon their _Basis_ round about the _Temple_, the space that was between the _Basis_ and the _Wall_ was the 5th. part of the whole _Temple_, and the Diameter of the _Temple_ within, was equal to the height of the _Pillar_. The _Temples_ after the _Tuscan_ fashion were square, having 5 parts in length and 4 in breadth; the _Porch_ which was as great as the rest of the _Temple_, had 4 _Pillars_ in the _Front_; the Sides were closed half by the Continuation of the Walls of the _Temple_, half by 2 _Angular Pillars_; and there were likewise 2 _Pillars_ in the middle of the _Porch_: The _Temple_ had 2 _Chappels_ within on each Side. We find that the Ancients had 14 Sorts of _Temples_, viz. 1. The Temple without _Pillars_. 2. The Temple _ad antes_ Simply. 3. The Temple _ad Antes_, with 2 _Pillars_ upon the same Line with the _Antes_. 4. The Temple _ad antes_, with _Pillars_ of an unequal Magnitude. 5. The _Prostyle_. 6. The _Amphiprostyle_. 7. The _Periptere_. 8. The _Pseudo-diptere_. 9. The _Diptere_. 10. The _Hypethre_. 11. The _Pseudo-Periptere_. 12. The _Monoptere_. 13. The _Round Periptere_. 14. The _Tuscan_. See the Tab. 2, 3, 4. ART. III. _Of Publick Places_, Basilica's, Theatres, Gates, Baths _and_ Academies. [Sidenote: _Lib. 5. Chap. 1._] The Third Sort of _Publick Fabricks_ are those which are Built for the Convenience and Use of all People; and there are Six Sorts of them, viz. _Market-Places_, _Basilica's_, _Theatres_, _Gates_, _Baths_ and _Ac
