    Of the ancient Benedictine abbey, the only remains are a part of a gateway, a lodge (a beautiful Perpendicular relic) and some buttresses, while some broken stone arches and walls remain of the conventual buildings.

    167

    Of the nave three bays of the south side are still standing, and the windows have pointed arches externally and semicircular arches internally.

    168

    On each side of it were two arches, affording an entrance into the forum, but capable of being closed by gates.

    169

    On Lord Penzance's retirement in 1899, his successor, Sir Arthur Charles, received a patent from the archbishop of Canterbury as official principal of the Arches court, and he took the oaths of office according to the practice before the Public Worship Regulation Act.

    170

    One can see this in the prominent cheekbones (zygomatic arches, see Figure 1 ).

    171

    One of the arches was broken down in 1213 and rebuilt in 1553; another was blown up by the British troops in 1809, and, though temporarily reconstructed, was again destroyed in 1836, to prevent the passage of the Carlist forces.

    172

    One of the figures, a barbarian captive, effeminate like those which appear on Roman triumphal arches, is practically intact.

    173

    Originally, the official principal exercised metropolitan jurisdiction, while the dean of the Arches exercised the "peculiar" jurisdiction.

    174

    Other bridges are the Obermainbriicke of five iron arches, opened in 1878; an iron foot (suspension) bridge, the Untermainbriicke; the Wilhelmsbriicke, a fine structure, which from 1849 to 1890 served as a railway bridge and was then opened as a road bridge; and two new iron bridges at Gutleuthof and Niederrad (below the city), which carry the railway traffic from the south to the north bank of the Main, where all lines converge in a central station of the Prussian state railways.

    175

    Other remains of pre-Conquest date are the chancel arches in the churches of Marston Montgomery and of Sawley; and the curiously carved font in Wilne church is attributed to the same period.

    176

    Paolo fuori le Mura at Rome, with pairs of small columns supporting arches, and decorations in coloured mosaic ("Cosmatesque" work).

    177

    Patchy thin brows can easily make you feel less than gorgeous in a beauty world where strong, well-defined arches are revered.

    178

    Phase 2 concentrated on the much-loved Rose Garden, creating new rose and shrub beds with arches for climbing roses and a new pergola.

    179

    Place the numbers in the middle of the circle or below the arches.

    180

    Pleurodont lizards with well-developed limbs; without temporal bony arches; postthoracic ribs united across the abdomen.

    181

    Pop. (1905), 91,124 (including a garrison of 7 500 men), of whom two-thirds are Roman Catholic. The Rhine, which here attains the greatest breadth of its upper course, is crossed by a magnificent bridge of five arches, leading to the opposite town of Castel and by two railway bridges.

    182

    Pop. of urban district (1901) 3599 It is intersected by the river Barrow, which is here crossed by a bridge of five arches.

    183

    Presumably the presence of osteoderms and of complete cranial arches are more archaic than their absence, just as we conclude that limbless forms have been evolved from various groups possessed of fully developed limbs.

    184

    Queen Edith's crown had a plain circlet with, so far as can be determined, four crosses of pearls or gems on it, and a large cross patee rising from it in front, and arches of jewels or pearls terminating in a large pearl at the top. A valuation of these ancient crowns was made at the time of the Commonwealth prior to their destruction.

    185

    Remains of the latter include a nave-arcade with rounded arches.

    186

    Rent large decorative items such as arches, plants, or fountains to completely transform a location.

    187

    Returning to England in 1553, he resigned his position at Oxford, which was now that of regius professor of civil law, and was made chancellor of the dioceses of London and of Oxford and dean of arches.

    188

    Rose vines look beautiful around poles, columns and arches.

    189

    Sculptured ornamentation, flowing scrollwork of semi-conventional foliage mingled with grotesque animals, birds or dragons, is freely applied to arches and string courses.

    190

    Some damage was also inflicted on it in 1813, when Napoleon made it the centre of his operations; one of the buttresses and two arches of the old bridge were then blown up. The dismantling of the fortifications had been begun by the French in, 810, and was gradually completed after 1817, the space occupied by them being appropriated to gardens and promenades.

    191

    Some pre-Norman work appears in the western wall, the tower arches and south porch are Norman, and there are an Early English chapel and some Decorated windows.

    192

    Sometimes also a viaduct consisting of a series of arches is preferred to an embankment when the line has to be taken over a piece of fiat alluvial plain, or when it is desired to economize space and to carry the line at a sufficient height to clear the streets, as in the case of various railways entering London and other large towns.

    193

    South-east of the city, along the valley of the Wadi Melain, are hundreds of large stone arches, magnificent remains of the Roman aqueduct from Zaghwan to Carthage.

    194

    Specially serious damage was done in the immediate neighbourhood of the chapel, but the finely moulded arches and the magnificent tracery of the east window survived in great part.

    195

    Specially serious damage was done in the immediate neighbourhood of the chapel, the oak-groined roof and rich fittings of the choir were wholly destroyed, but the finely moulded arches and the magnificent tracery of the east window survived in great part.

    196

    St John's church, one of the most interesting in Wiltshire, is cruciform, with a massive central tower, based upon two round and two pointed arches.

    197

    St Mary's, in the centre of the town, and St David's, beyond the Usk, are now mainly modern, though the former has some of the Norman arches of the original church.

    198

    Streamers secured to the ceiling and draped down to the floor or a series of balloon arches work well to create the tunnel feeling.

    199

    Such hinges have been used not only for metal arches, but in a modified form for masonry and concrete arches.

    200

    Surmounting all, at the intersection of the arches is a cross.

    201

    Tapering the arches to add delicacy to the ring.

    202

    The "spacious arches of stone and other vestiges of departed majesty," with which Ker Porter found it surrounded in 1818, were possibly remains of the college (medresseh) and monastery (zavieh) where Ibn Batuta found shelter during his visit to the locality.

    203

    The actual introduction of the pointed arch took place at a much earlier date, as in the nave arcade of the Cistercian Abbey of Buildwas (1140), though the clerestory window above has semicircular arches.

    204

    The American style kitchen has two decorative arches providing serving access and entry into the kitchen area.

    205

    The ancient town walls survive almost intact on the north and west sides, and retain the fine St George's gateway, locally called the "Five Arches."

    206

    The appeals from the decisions of the Arches court were formerly made to the king in chancery, but they are now by statute addressed to the king in council, and they are heard before the judicial committee of the privy council.

    207

    The arcades which form the aisles, consist of four bays of pointed arches resting upon circular columns with molded capitals.

    208

    The arches are circular or pointed.

    209

    The arches are mostly pointed, and in other respects the influence of northern Gothic was more direct in Verona than in Florence.

    210

    The arches are sometimes cusped; circles with trefoils, quatrefoils, &c., are introduced into the tracery, and large rose windows in the transept or nave, as at Lincoln (1220).

    211

    The arches bear on the convex outer side the delicate arborescent gills, and on the concave inner side develop a membranous septum with vermicular perforations, a special sifting or filtering contrivance through which the water absorbed by the mouth has to pass before reaching the respiratory organs of the branchial apparatus.

    212

    The arches carry a double railway track and above this a roadway 54 ft.

    213

    The Arches court was also the court of appeal from the consistory courts of the bishops of the province in all testamentary and matrimonial causes.

    214

    The arches now afford shelter and stabling for the Cretans.

    215

    The arches of Porta Nuova are almost the last trace of the inner circuit, constructed after the destruction of the city by Frederick Barbarossa, to which also belonged the Porta dei Fabbri, demolished in 1900.

    216

    The arches of the lavatory are to be seen near the refectory entrance.

    217

    The arches of the Romanesque portal are beautifully ornamented, in a manner suggestive of Arab influence; the bronze doors, executed by Barisanus of Trani in 1175, rank among the best of their period in southern Italy.

    218

    The arches of this period are semicircular and usually highly stilted.

    219

    The arches of this period are There is every reason to doubt Vasari's statement that Pisanello was a pupil of Andrea del Castagno.

    220

    The arches vary from 51 to 79 ft.

    221

    The arches were designed to be fitted with self-acting drop gates; but they were not a success, and were only put into place on the Rosetta branch.

    222

    The arches, round or more often pointed in form, were decorated with moulded terra-cotta enrichments, and often with alternating voussoirs of marble.

    223

    The basement is surrounded by a range of semicircular arches supported by fifteen columns, and above this rise six arcades with thirty columns each.

    224

    The beautiful central bridge - the Alte or Augustusbriicke - with 16 arches, built in 17 2 7-1731, and 1420 ft.

    225

    The brick campanile has small columns with little pointed arches.

    226

    The bridge has been built and rebuilt several times and its forty-one arches differ in material, style and size.

    227

    The bridge has three spans, each formed of arches of cast steel.

    228

    The bridge of Don has five granite arches, each 75 ft.

    229

    The bridge was composed of twenty arches supported by stone pillars, several of which are still visible at low water.

    230

    The broad arches allowed fresh air and the clear fiberglass roof let the sunshine in while keeping the rain out.

    231

    The building was all of stone, the floors of the arches were inverts.

    232

    The building was mainly of white weatherboard over a brick lower floor consisting of six dark brick arches.

    233

    The Capella Palatina, at Palermo, the most wonderful of Roger's churches, with Norman doors, Saracenic arches, Byzantine dome, and roof adorned with Arabic scripts, is perhaps the most striking product of the brilliant and mixed civilization over which the grandson of the Norman Trancred ruled.

    234

    The case was dismissed on technical grounds, but appeals were made to the court of arches and the court of delegates.

    235

    The cathedral of St Martin was begun in 1063 by Bishop Anselm (later Pope Alexander II.); but the great apse with its tall columnar arcades and the fine campanile are probably the only remnants of the early edifice, the nave and transepts having been rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 14th century, while the west front was begun in 1204 by Guidetto (lately identified with Guido Bigarelli of Como), and "consists of a vast portico of three magnificent arches, and above them three ranges of open galleries covered with all the devices of an exuberant fancy."

    236

    The cathedral of St Stephen was begun in the 12th century in the Tuscan Romanesque style; to this period belongs the narrow nave with its wide arches; the raised transepts and the chapels were added by Giovanni Pisano in 1317-1320; the campanile dates from 1340 (it is a much smaller and less elaborate version of Giotto's campanile at Florence), while the façade, also of alternate white sandstone and green serpentine, belongs to 1413.

    237

    The cathedral, of the 12th century, has a carved portal and three apses decorated with small arches and pilasters, and contains a fine pulpit and episcopal throne in marble mosaic. Near it are two grottos 1 To the period after 335 belong numerous silver and bronze coins with the legend Caleno.

    238

    The channel was open in Greek times, but was afterwards covered by Roman arches; it appears to have served as the main drain of the city.

    239

    The church of St Eustachius dates from 1318, and possesses a lofty tower supported on four open arches.

    240

    The church of St Mark has a nave with double aisles, and massive late Norman pillars and arches.

    241

    The city is supplied with fresh water by means of an aqueduct carried by arches over an extensive valley.

    242

    The coast, fully exposed to the open ocean, abounds in fine cliff scenery, including numerous caves and natural arches, but is notoriously dangerous to shipping.

    243

    The college consisted of a president (the dean of Arches for the time being) and of those doctors of law who, having regularly taken that degree in either of the universities of Oxford or Cambridge, and having been admitted advocates in pursuance of the rescript of the archbishop of Canterbury, were elected fellows in the manner prescribed by the charter.

    244

    The college was accordingly dissolved, and the various ecclesiastical courts which sat at Doctors' Commons (the Court of Arches, the Prerogative Court, the Faculty Court and the Court of Delegates) are now open to the whole bar.

    245

    The columns and capitals were all taken from ancient buildings, Egyptian, Roman and Byzantine, and they carry arches of different forms, semicircular, pointed and horseshoe.

    246

    The columns supporting the roof and gallery are irregularly placed, with a view to artistic effect; and the general form of the piers, arches and pillars is most graceful.

    247

    The company states the device helps many people who suffer from plantar fasciitis, fallen arches, sciatica, bunions, and hammertoes.

    248

    The conventional foliage decorating the capitals is of great beauty and variety, and extends to spandrils, bosses, &c. In the spandrils of the arches of the nave, transept or choir arcades, diaper work is occasionally found, as in the transept of Westminster Abbey.

    249

    The corner towards the Ponte della Puglia was also restored, and the hideous device of walling up the five last arches, adopted in the 16th century by the architect Da Ponte, was removed without prejudice to the stability of the structure.

    250

    The court of arches upheld the bishop, but its decision was reversed by the privy council.

    251

    The crown of St Edward, with which the sovereigns were crowned, had a narrow circlet from which rose alternately four crosses and four fleurs-de-lys, and from the crosses sprang two arches, which at their crossing supported an orb and cross.

    252

    The crown which strangely enough surmounts the shield with the arms of the Commonwealth on the coins of Oliver Cromwell (as distinguished from those of the Commonwealth itself, which have no crown) is a royal crown with alternate crosses and fleurs-de-lys round the circlet, and is surmounted by three arches, which, though somewhat flattened, are not bent.

    253

    The dean of the Arches originally had jurisdiction over the thirteen London parishes above mentioned, but as the official principal was often absent as ambassador on the continent, he became his substitute, and gradually the two offices were blended together.

    254

    The Dee is here crossed by a 14th-century bridge of four arches, "one of the seven wonders of Wales," built by John Trevor, afterwards bishop of St Asaph (Llanelwy).

    255

    The difficulty of casting heavy arch ribs led to the construction of cast iron arches of cast voussoirs, somewhat like the voussoirs of masonry chambers and air locks, a feat unprecedented in the annals of engineering.

    256

    The dome-shaped roof is supported by twenty arches.

    257

    The doors lead into a vestibule under the west gallery, and this opens with three arches into the nave proper.

    258

    The early palaces of Verona, before its conquest by Venice, were of noble and simple design, mostly built of fine red brick, with an inner court, surrounded on the ground floor by open arches like a cloister, as, for example, the Palazzo della Ragione, an assize court, begun in the r 2th century.

    259

    The east and south gates exist (the latter, a double gate with three arches flanked by two towers, is the Porta Praetoria, and is especially fine), while the rectangular arrangement of the streets perpetuates the Roman plan, dividing the town into 16 blocks (insulae).

    260

    The ecclesiastical Court of Arches sat here formerly.

    261

    The eight side chapels alone are complete, and their pointed arches spring from Renaissance pilasters planted on black marble elephants, the Malatesta emblems, or on baskets of fruit held by children.

    262

    The entrance arches are perfect for this as well.

    263

    The entrance, a door in a false arcade of black and white marble, leads into a court whose arches support an upper colonnade.

    264

    The experiment was repeated year after year till 1867, when the barrage cracked right across from foundation to top. A massive coffer-dam was then erected, covering the eleven arches nearest the crack; but the work was never trusted again, nor the water-surface raised more than about 3 ft.

    265

    The exterior brick walls are divided by shallow arches and pilasters, as in other churches of Ravenna.

    266

    The exterior is well preserved, and is largely decorated with interlacing pointed arches; the windows also are pointed.

    267

    The facades presented continuous colonnades on each floor with semicircular high stilted arches, leaving a very small amount of wall space.

    268

    The face has long, thin eye slits surmounted by three horizontal arches of blue beads indicating eyebrows.

    269

    The filling between the girders and floor beams consists of segmental arches of brick, segmental or flat arches of porous (sawdust) terra-cotta, or hard-burned hollow terra- - cotta voussoirs, or various patented forms of con crete floors containing ties or supports of steel or iron.

    270

    The first symptoms are usually problems with the feet such as high arches and problems with walking and running.

    271

    The first was built in 1828 from designs of Decimus Burton, and comprises three arches with a frieze above the central arch copied from the Elgin marbles in the British Museum.

    272

    The first, till 1832 the only access to the city from the south, consists of seven semicircular ribbed arches, is about 30 ft.

    273

    The former are used principally as casing, walls, pillars or other supporting parts of the structure, and includes ordinary red or yellow bricks, clay-slate, granite and most building stones; the latter are reserved for the parts immediately in contact with the fuel and flame, such as the lining of the fire-place, the arches, roof and flues, the lower part if not the whole of the chimney lining in reverberatory furnaces, and the whole of the internal walls of blast furnaces.

    274

    The gills, borne on four arches, are internal and enclosed in the branchial chambers.

    275

    The Gothic architects and builders discovered the amazing strength and stability of using pointed arches.

    276

    The Greek had created the column; the Roman had developed it; the Roman Greek'or Greek Roman had taught the column to bear the cupola; the Saracen had taught it to bear arches of his own favourite pointed shape.

    277

    The inner face .of the arches, with the spandrils and the pilasters which support them, are covered with flowers and foliage of delicate design and dainty execution, crusted in green serpentine, blue lapis lazuli and red and purple porphyry.

    278

    The interior is vaulted and has eight pillars, supporting double round arches.

    279

    The interior of the mill has stone-flagged floors supported by Victorian cast-iron pillars and low brick arches with iron hoops.

    280

    The interior of the mosque is square and is divided into aisles by columns joined by Moorish arches.

    281

    The jaws are short and strong, and the width of the zygomatic arches, and great development of the bony ridges on the skull, give ample space for the attachment of the powerful muscles by which they are closed.

    282

    The judge of the Arches court was until 1874 appointed by the archbishop of Canterbury by patent which, when confirmed by the dean and chapter of Canterbury, conferred the office for the life of the holder.

    283

    The judge under this act became (upon vacancies occurring) ex officio official principal of the arches court of Canterbury and of the chancery court of York.

    284

    The lateral entrances are sheltered by tympana and arches profusely decorated with statuettes.

    285

    The lower ring band encircles the finger, while the upper portion of the band arches up to embrace the central mounting and focal diamond or gemstone, which is frequently in a classic tiffany setting.

    286

    The lowest range of semicircular arches consists of twenty columns and the second of sixty; and above this is a row of eighteen windows in the same style separated by as many pilasters.

    287

    The maksura is a rectangular domed chamber divided by 296 marble and porphyry columns into 17 aisles, each aisle having 8 arches.

    288

    The Mosel is spanned by a Gothic freestone bridge of 14 arches, erected in 1344, and also by a railway bridge.

    289

    The most interesting of these is the Alte Mainbriicke, a red sandstone structure of fourteen arches, 815 ft.

    290

    The most remarkable feature of the genus is, however, the extraordinary development of the zygomatic arches of the skull, which are enormously expanded vertically, forming great convex bony capsules on the sides of the face, enclosing on each side a large cavity lined with mucous membrane internally, and communicating by a small opening with the mouth.

    291

    The most striking effect now lies in its engrailed arches.

    292

    The most striking of these towns is Deraheib (Castle Beautiful), so named from the picturesque situation of the castle, a large square building with pointed arches.

    293

    The nave arcades are of four bays, with octagonal shafts, molded capitals and bases, and pointed arches of two chamfered orders.

    294

    The nave arcades are of four bays, with octagonal shafts, molded capitals and bases, and pointed arches.

    295

    The nave arches are borne on octagonal piers, probably of an earlier church.

    296

    The nave is wide and has transverse arches and all the fittings are in keeping.

    297

    The nave, in the Transitional and Decorated styles, with a rich midPointed triforium of broad round arches, has been restored, and used as the parish church since 1862.

    298

    The nave, on each side, has nine pointed arches in the basement storey, nine round arches in the triforium, and thirty-six pointed arches in the clerestory, through which an arcade is carried on both sides.

    299

    The new rear wings, wheel arches and sills were then welded on.

    300

    The Norman arches of the south arcade are 12th century, the north arcade perhaps a century younger.

    301

    The offer was accepted, and the bishop was received with triumphal arches and other demonstrations of joy.

    302

    The official principal of the Arches court is the only ecclesiastical judge who is empowered to pass a sentence of deprivation against a clerk in holy orders.

    303

    The old coffee tavern next to the Post Office building came down along with the main station building including its Victorian arches.

    304

    The original edifice being left intact, it was a difficult question how to deal with the windows and the Gothic arches of the interior.

    305

    The original office of the dean of the Arches may now be regarded as extinct, though the title is still popularly used, for no dean of the Arches has been appointed eo nomine for several centuries, and by an act of 1838 bishops have jurisdiction over all peculiars within their diocese.

    306

    The other bridge is upon the River Dee, about a mile west above New Aberdeen, and has seven very stately fine arches.

    307

    The other urns on this side were placed by Malatesta's successors, and the arches on the left wall remained untenanted.

    308

    The outside of the church is plain, except the aisle walls and three eastern apses, which are decorated with intersecting pointed arches and other ornaments inlaid in marble.

    309

    The outsides of the principal doorways and their pointed arches are magnificently enriched with carving and coloured inlay, a curious combination of three styles - Norman-French, Byzantine and Arab.

    310

    The Palazzo della Ragione, with its great hall on the upper floor, is reputed to have the largest roof unsupported by columns in Europe; the hall is nearly rectangular, its length 2672 ft., its breadth 89 ft., and its height 78 ft.; the walls are covered with symbolical paintings in fresco; the building stands upon arches, and the upper storey is surrounded by an open loggia, not unlike that which surrounds the basilica of Vicenza; the Palazzo was begun in 1172 and finished in 1219; in 1306 Fra Giovanni, an Augustinian friar, covered the whole with one roof; originally there were three roofs, spanning the three chambers into which the hall was at first divided; the internal partition walls remained till the fire of 1420, when the Venetian architects who undertook the restoration removed them, throwing all three compartments into one and forming the present great hall.

    311

    The piers carrying the arches have shafts at their angles, the earliest examples known, and the decoration of the walls consists of friezes, borders, and impost-bands, all enriched with conventional patterns interwoven with cufic characters and modelled in stucco.

    312

    The plan of construction shows three parallel walls enclosing two corridors covered with the peculiar pointed arches or vaults characteristic of Palenque.

    313

    The plant is a cross with a Dijon Tea, and of freely rambling habit, well suited to pillars, arches, pergolas, and either to train against tree-trunks or pegged along the ground.

    314

    The Pointed arches rest upon pillars, possibly Norman, and above them, below the Decorated clerestory windows, is a series of semicircular arches with flamboyant tracery, a remarkable feature.

    315

    The Ponte di Cecco (so named from Cecco d'Ascoli), with two arches, is also Roman and belongs to the Via Salaria; the Ponte Maggiore and the Ponte Cartaro are, on the other hand, medieval, though the latter perhaps preserves some traces of Roman work.

    316

    The principal buildings which can still be distinguished are a temple, an aqueduct, a large theatre (enclosed by a castle of much more recent workmanship), several baths, a triumphal and other arches, three mosques, and what are known as the church and convent of the monk Boheira.

    317

    The principal market-place in the city (Piazza del Mercato) has taken possession of the arena of the ancient amphitheatre, the outer arches of which can still be seen in the surrounding buildings.

    318

    The proper designation of the judge is official principal of the Arches court, but by custom he came to be styled the dean of the Arches, a title belonging formerly to the chief official of the subordinate court.

    319

    The richest ornamentation was applied to the arches and string courses, while plaques of sculpture, roundels and coats of arms adorned the facades.

    320

    The rise of the centre arch is 471 ft., and that of the side arches 46 ft.

    321

    The river Annan is crossed by a stone bridge of three arches dating from 1824, and by a railway bridge.

    322

    The river is crossed at Stratford by a stone bridge of 14 arches, built by Sir Hugh Clopton in the reign of Henry VII.

    323

    The river is crossed by a bridge of seven arches which was designed by Thomas Telford in 1805 and opened in 1808.

    324

    The river is crossed by a fine bridge of eight arches on which stands the chapel of St Mary, a beautiful structure 50 ft.

    325

    The river is crossed by St John's Bridge of nine arches, completed in 1772 from the designs of John Smeaton and widened a century later; by Victoria Bridge, a modern structure connecting South Street with Dundee Road; and farther south (at the end of Tay Street) by a footway alongside of the viaduct belonging to the Caledonian railway.

    326
