‘The other two orders, Tuscan and Composite, which are of a later date than the time of Vitruvius, are of Italian or Roman origin. The Composite, as its title denotes, is the combination of other orders and has thus no independent importance. The Tuscan order has also reference to the country of Tuscany, formerly called Eutruria, a country of Italy.’—(Gwilt, *Encycl.*, Art. 178.)
