An 1733 architectural handbook by Edward Oakley, printed in Westminster for the author and B. Creake, aimed at gentlemen, architects, sculptors, painters and builders. Its plates show plain engraved drawings of column orders with measured profiles, geometric solids in perspective, and elevations with plans of a domed interior. A designer could take clean line-engraved diagrams of classical ornament, capitals and mouldings, and an eighteenth-century vocabulary of construction drawing.
