AVERTISSEMENTQUoyque the first Chapter of this Treaty lfs
contains af�'ez along the defTein ;�It appears
, however, that he eft about expofer icy the views
that we have had in this fruitful Edition.�This Trai-
tee had been undertaken only for infpirer the good
taste to Pupils in the Atchitedure.�However, it
has found Opponents, And as these�
objections are al�ez well-written Is an air aif�, ce they
pourroient may be required to make any impreflion as
the efprit of Commen�ans , �c give any
infringement of good taste: it was n�ceflaire to join
icy two difcours who have (�rvi of r�ponfe to these
Criticisms.
We efp�re that they will make a furcro�t of evidence to
all the provisions of the Treaty.�It may even be that the
perfonnes curicufes taste & will
quoyfe content.�Certainly they will
how our Eglifes were once�
conftruitesj�c in the same mct all that devroit�
induce any efprit non-accused, to believe that those
present-huy on account of the construction or ajufte, the�
devroient be as this old model.
Parlam�meraifon it added a troificme
Difcours, which lfc is not the Author, but�
in a way alfez alive, & with a detail to do pUii�r,
gives a new light to everything that was advanced
in this Book.
WARNING.
In the case of the Dictionary that we have put at the end,
we would add that as these heavy Books are
ordinarily strong boring & fortfecs, �c that
celuy terms of Architedlure the devroit be by
fa nature more than another ,we are planning to
make the most enjoyable that it was poffiblc.�Everything
that we found fufceptible of orncmens , we
tried to enliven the narrative with short �c�
curieufes research or traits of Hiltoire : to�
d�domager by-the sentence or ennuy of anyone who
' may wish to undertake to read it.
The refte this Book has been printed fans that we have
penf� to put in the margin the Verf�on of the PafTages
Latin which are prevalent qi & there , quoyqu'we
have done with respect To Latms.�Therefore, it was felt
that it �toic n�ceflaire to deliver icy the Verfion of
these Shares, to settle the pcrfonnes who�
are unaware of this Language , because this Book should�
probably pluft�t 6c more fouvent fall between leurj
hands between those of any other.
It.�on the page i i j. these two verses
in Latin.

CHAPTER FIRST.

E S flaws & bad taste , which
fe notice in most�
Ouivragcs , that are not grinding l^fi
|Ma(^ons , the Carpenters , the�
Mefnuiiiers , Plumbers & the�
Locksmiths , but still the Painters &c Sculptors ,
come from the fact that they completely ignore�
lArchitc6ture.
z NEW DEALS'
May be that, having pafi� a part of their life to
fe perfediionner in their Art, they have not fong�
that I Architcdure y devoit contribution: or ,
if they have done cjuclcjue attention , they grew that they
in f�iuroient adults , using as the merit of
some Treaties of this icience a little too�
abbr�e�s.
Some of them fe content to�
browse : on the other?�do lifent to meiure they�
work.�But what do they find , that the puifTe well
lead, that gives them this good taste ,this�
elegant , & cete beautiful proportion, (year quoy we do ciif
nothing worthwhile ?�there they learn how to avoid the defects
eflcnti�ls , where we fall n�ceflliirement, when there
has not been a study f�rieufe of the Architediure ?
These Treaties are fi luccints , that barely-there�
f�auroit we d�chilfrcr the mefures of the proportions of
each and every Order.�All eft fi dubious , & in a
such a confufion ^ he eft impofiible that they puifl'cnt
nothing conno�tre , ny ideas went n�tes
for fe drive in whatever they undertake.
The Book that Mr. Perrault has made [Order of the
five cfhcces of Columns felon the Ad�thode of the Elders cfi:
maybe the feul , where the Workers pouroient take
any fruit.�This f�avant homtne gives a�
governed certain �i well aif�e for mefures , or the
proportions of each Order.�There infpire even
the idea of the beautiful , &: mark the defects that we must
avoid.�But we can say that lfs is too diffuse, strong
embaraif�, &unpeuobfcur,in the principles that it
establishes jde strong that it eft all q^eu can make a
ARCHITECTURE.I.�Share.Ch.I.�5^
  perfonne of-j� verf�e in this fcience , that of
the cope, &c, of the to hear.
I have so r�iolu , in fuivant Your fill�mc , not
grinding to give icy , in favor of our�
Workers , board short , certain , & aifce for
conftruire ch.iquc Order Architedture , �c to
establish which is most suitable to make it�
gracious to the sight ; but still their propofer , (ur
all the different ways of b�cimens ,�
some general advice , that they should fuivre, or at
least not ignore.
To do with order , it is necessary penfer that the Ar-
chitedrurc has three main parts : ^Order ,
the Dijfof�tion or Dijlnbution , ^ the Bienf�an:e.
The Order ell: what gives with all the by - vnm.i.i-ch.
ties of a Building the jufle greatness that their eil:
clean report to their ufage
The Difpofition or Diftribution , lfc is�
the agreement suitable to the parties.
And the Bienf�ance efl what makes this�
Difpofition cft such that there puifle find anything that foit
contrary to nature j to {'addiction , or to the ufige
of the chofes.
Refers to the parts of a Building, not
grinding the pieces it eft compof� , as
a court , a veftibule , a falle, &c. but aufti
those who come in the conftrudion of each
of these parts : such as are the Wainscoting , the�
Ceilings , the Doorframes , & fur all the Columns
to integer, so it eft primarily queftion in
this Treaty.

'4 NEW DEALS'
Ainfi, I paricray in this first Part, �e
the Order s in the fertile, of the Dijjo/inon or
Diflnbiition ; & in the last, of the Bienf�ance.
In the first edition of this Treatise, I have
not grown to require in particular the definitions
of dift�rcns Members or Mouleures of each
Order.�I �tois imagine that it feroic easier
to fure conno�tre , &: by the figures that have
at the end of the Book , �c by the explanation that I in avors
  made, as in metre icy the Di6tionnaire ,oii�
ilauroit had to repeat it in a way ennuye�fe what
I have said ^ that I fembloit , very clearly in
the horns of the Ouvracre.
However, the Public had not judged the same.
It has fouhait� this Didionnaire.�I therefore do the
�uyrefufer jScjc do dautantplus happy that
the occafion of certain terms of Architedure as
I explained, I still gives the �clairciflemens that it
has defir�s.�I reciprocate the same to objc�:ions that one
to me made.
For eft of the Book , I Tay retouched in many
places , to provide him more clarity.�I ay
added plufieures new boards , & some of the
programming was just right that I have forgotten , & which I have published
quite n�ceflaires.
The reftc I take the liberty quclquesfois to
mark the defects, or are fallen our plusgrands
Architedes 5 & I fais_, not to diminish their
merit, but to prevent that we do the fuive�
blindly in these faults , which are quoted^
