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.
