Cities
and
Temples.
We
will
suppose
that
the
model
is
to
represent
the
Temple
of
Theseus
at
Athens,
which
was
built
by
Cimon,
the
son
of
Miltiades.
In
the
first
place
we
must
obtain
the
necessary
dimensions,
and
then,
reducing
the
number
of
feet
to
fractional
parts
of
an
inch,
form
a
scale
suitable
for
carrying
out
the
whole.
A
piece
of
wood
of
the
necessary
size
is
procured,
the
plan
marked
out
in
pencil,
and
the
ground
on
which
it
stands
imitated
in
cork,
by
cutting
away
the
parts
that
are
not
required
with
a
sharp
penknife,
and
adding
others
with
glue.
The
floor
of
the
temple
is
now
to
be
glued
on
with
common
glue,
for
we
should
remark
that
the
liquid
glue
does
not
dry
quickly
enough
for
cork
modelling,
and
is
not
so
good
as
the
old
plan;
the
sides
and
ends
are
formed
of
cork
sheets,
marked
with
a
lead
pencil
to
represent
the
blocks
of
stone;
and
ruined
and
broken
parts
imitated,
by
pricking
the
cork
with
a
blunt
penknife
or
needle.
The
frieze,
representing
the
battle
between
the
Centaurs
and
Lapithæ
and
the
metopes
in
mezzo-relievo,
containing
a
mixture
of
the
labours
of
Hercules
and
Theseus,
should
be
drawn
upon
the
sheets
of
cork
according
to
scale,
and
coloured
with
a
little
lampblack
and
raw
sienna,
to
represent
the
subject
intended,
if
the
scale
is
small;
but
if
the
model
admits
of
it,
the
groups
may
be
neatly
carved
with
a
sharp
penknife
from
the
cork,
which
has
been
previously
outlined
with
pencil.
