page 111 note 2 No mention is made of Fulton's work, which included an excellent detailed section through the aisles, looking outwards and showing marble linings, etc. His plans, and his sections up to the springing of the great arches, are well-dimensioned. His assymmetry in the eastern terminations of the north and south aisles at Gallery level may be accurate recording of the deflection of the building (see Pl. XLV A in the present book).
