Supplement to the Antiquitates American.®. 7
looks as if once partially or entirely covered with cement,
of a similar character with the mortar. Its height is 24
feet 6 inches, and was, we should think, originally some-
what greater. Its outer diameter is 23 feet, its inner is
18 feet 9 inches. It is built upon arches which rest
upon eight columns. Its height from the ground to the
centre of the arch is 12 feet 6 inches. The entire height
of the columns is 10 feet I inch; viz: the base one foot
G inches, the shaft 7 feet 9 inches, and the capital 10
inches; diameter at the base 3 feet 9 inches, above the
base 3 feet 2 inches. The foundation extends under the
columns to the depth 'of between 4 and 5 feet, from the
surface of the ground.
There is nothing but the bare walls standing;'neither
roofing nor any portion of the interior fitting up remaining.
Boston Dec. 29, 1839.
Upon comparing the drawings sent before, with the
original, which I had a hasty opportunity of doing, the
past summer, whilst on a brief business visit to Newport,
I find that they have a more finished appearance than
what they should have. The columns have no regular
capitals; the upper layer of stone projects a little beyond
the others composing the shafts, and the columns stand
out somewhat betjond the structure raised thereon. To
give you a better idea of this, I send you a corrected
copy 1 of No. 1.
The projection you will perceive is found only on
the outer half of t'’e columns, thus-making, as it were,
1 This drawing forms the ground work of the accompanying
steel engraving (Tab. III). It is to be remarked however that
the ruin is in many places still more dilapidated than appears in
the delineation, which was sent to us in the form af an outline
without being filled up.
