Excerpt from The Stones of Venice, Vol. 2: Introductory Chapters and Local Indices (Printed Separately) For the Use of Travellers While Staying in Venice and Verona The reason of this is, that the finial is properly the orna ment of gabled architecture; it is the compliance, in the 'or features of the building, with the spirit of its towers, ridged roof, and spires. Venetian building is not gabled, but horizontal in its roots and general masses; therefore the finial is a feature contradictory to its spirit, and adopted only in that search for morbid excitement which is the infallible indication of decline. When it occurs earlier, it is on fragments of true gabled architecture, as, for instance, on the porch of the Carmini.
