Fig 1. Outside . fig 2. inside. section
of white marble cornice of balcony
 A  B above, in fig 1 . is the true
breadth of the top. and B and
B2 are then the same points
I have no doubt the lines of the
red marble below R. R . should
be vertically under a  A and B2
This is clear by comparing No 74 , F is the line M2 No 74 is at
M2 in fig 2 here. also. fig 2. C. No 74, is the exact size of
this section of the internal moulding of 4 foil: and a. in that section
is a2 on the large figure: on the line N a2. Now by fig 3. I
know the thickness of the marble af N a2 to be= c d. Fig 3:

						         vertical
		Now [is?] by adding to c c. twice The excess of b upon a, in C of fig 2.
		I find the thickness of the marble on the line M2: which accordingly I
		  find to be just equal  A - B. here.
