Entablature, on the contrary, consists of that part of the order which is over the capital of the column; comprehending the architrave, frieze, and cornice. The general rule is to divide the whole into nineteen parts, the pedestal shall have four, the entablature three : but if a column be without pedestal, divide the height but into five equal parts, four to the column, and to the entablature one.-Evelyn. On Architecture. They differ in nothing either in height, substance, or entablement from the feminine Ionic, and masculine Doric. Id. Ib. They knew little, imagined much, built beyond nature: and terms and phrases, which supported their schemes, covered equally the deficiency and the futility of their matter, not unlike to those columns and entablatures of painted pasteboard, that imitate the solidity of marble and deceive the eye.-Bolingbroke, Ess. 4.

Eustace. Classical Tour, vol. i. p. 132. "Fr. Entailler,-to intail, grave, carve, cut in," (Cotgrave.) Also, to cut into shape or form; and the noun is used by Chaucer as equivalent to shape. In legal usage, to entail, Fr. Tailler, It. Tagliare, is to cut off, (sc.) an estate from the heirs general, (see Spelman, Gloss. fol. 531, and Blackstone, ü. 113,) and, consequentially— To limit an estate or property to heirs special; to an especial descent: to settle unchangeably, inalienably in an especial line of descent.

Minshew says, quasi inter aliquem ducere. Skinner derives from tan, dim. of tangl, a twig. Junius from Ger. Tang, (A. S. Tang,) forceps, in Eng. Tongs; to entangle, he says, is properly to seize with pincers, (forcipe,) and to hold at pleasure when so seized. Fr. Tenailler; It. Attanagliare. Serenius gives the Goth. Teingia, to bind together. The A. S. Tian, to tie, to bind, to fasten, is probably the root. To tie, to bind, to fold, to knit, to lace, to perplex; to make or cause to be, perplexed, embarrassed, intricate; to ensnare. It came to their remembraunce, that Mithridates on thone syde was entangled with the warres of the Romayns, and that Ptolomy on thother syde, hadde euer ben an enemie to the kyngdome of Syria.-Goldinge.

Yea the highest and most improved parts of rationality, are frequently caught in the entanglements of a tenacious imagination; and submit to its obstinate, but delusory dictamens.-Glanvill. Vanity of Dogmatizing, c. 11. Now the unregenerate man has not so much as the habit or principle of faith, and so upon no hand can have his prayers accepted; and he that is truly regenerate, and endued with this principle, yet while he is entangled with the love of sin, cannot act nor exercise that principle, and so neither can his prayers be acceptable.-South, vol. ix.
