‘The carvings of the great arch - Fig 1 are the richest I have yet seen on any arch of the kind, covering both architrave & soffit Fig 1 p. 81 {No 61} is a careful section; the cornice or dripstone of granite its ornament seen beside it and note the stone is edged by the [diagram] which is in contact with the cement; Then the facing slabs of white marble, cut in to animals and then soffit slabs of which the edge is curiously archaic; being neither a roll nor a square. Perhaps the most curious thing connected with the arch is that while in both ornaments the animals seem throughout to be kept within the intaglio limit, yet, in the soffit wreath, two little beasts, one on each side, who fill an angle of the leafage, have one a paw, the other a claw, extended over the {flattened} roll at the angle: drawn upon it’
