“The taste of our century or at least of our

nation, is different from that of the ancients and

perhaps it has a little of the Gothic in it, because

we love the air, the daylight, and openness

(dégagements.) Thus we have invented a sixth

manner of disposing of columns, which is to

group them in pairs and separate each pair with

two intercolumniations...This manner could be

called a Pseudosystyle.”
