[Footnote 73: That is, the free treatment of line under scientific forms of abstraction rather than limited to specific modes of organic form in Nature.]

[Footnote 74: _Der Verständigen Gesetzmässigkeit._ The principle of scientific architecture.]

[Footnote 75: Immediate imitation, that is.]

[Footnote 79: That is, the scientific reason of abstract principle or rule.]

[Footnote 80: _Weil beim Oblongum in der Gleichheit und Ungleichheit ist._ That is, more pleasure is derived from contrast than mere similarity. He then qualifies or explains the general principle.]

[Footnote 81: _Eurhythmie_, that is, eurhythmy or a rhythmic movement between the several parts.]

[Footnote 82: I presume this is the meaning of _die Theorie_ here. That is the purposeful motive of the architectural skeleton of the fabric--what explains it rationally.]

[Footnote 83: _Schiebens._ It is possible that Hegel uses the word in its primary sense of "shifting."]

[Footnote 84: The idea is slightly confused in the course of the sentence. It is not the necessity (_des Bedürfnisses_) to build a stable house which has to be held in position, etc., but the structure which that necessity forces men to construct in a certain way.]

[Footnote 85: _Ihre eigenen Momente._ "Its unique traits" is possibly adequate here.]

[Footnote 86: Hegel probably has in his mind when using the expression _verständig bestimmte_ the close analogy between the self-exclusive concreteness of reason and the completeness of the circular figure.]

[Footnote 87: It is not quite clear what Hegel means by the _Köpfen der Deckenbalken._ The technical word that corresponds to _Deckenbalken_ is "joists"; here, according to the words that follow, it would appear to mean either the last horizontal line of the architrave or the entire growth of the triglyph. As he uses the word _Zwischenraümen_ after we appear to be driven on the latter alternative. The frieze, of course, was the entire space between cornice and architrave, including both triglyphs and metopes.]

[Footnote 88: Called _femora._ They were divided by two gutters or drills. The triglyph slightly projected and united perpendicularly cornice and architrave.]
