Arthur Stratton · Series I. Circular Plans
Plates III and IV. Simple Circular Plans
Plates III and IV. — These illustrate the simplest types of circular plan with domical coverings, taken from authoritative examples. On Plate III, Nos. I, II and III, and Plate IV, No. I, are shown open circular structures which offer suggestions for garden pavilions, shelters for statuary, or fountains. No. IV has often been used to enclose a wellhead, but both this and No. V readily suggest the small private mausoleum or cenotaph.
Public-domain text (1925), transcribed from the archive.org OCR of the first edition and cleaned for reading: line-end hyphens rejoined, running heads, page numbers and the captions of the text figures removed, and obvious misreadings corrected. Stratton’s hundred plates are not reproduced, nor their engraved captions or the index to the illustrations; each Series is divided at his commentary on each plate, and the chapter titles follow the plate headings. The live figures are this book’s own.
