Synopsis
Excerpt from Dr. Brook Taylor's Principles of Linear Perspective: Or, the Art of Designing Upon a Plane the Representation of All Sorts of Objects, as They Appear to the Eye
My design in this book is not to trouble the reader with a multitude of examples, nor to de scend to a perfect explanation of any particular cases; but to explain the general principles of Perspective: which, if I have been so happy as to have done, in such a manner as may be intelligible to the reader, I do not doubt but he will easily be inclined to pardon my shortness: for he will find much pleasure in observing how extensive these principles are, by applying them to particular cases which he himself shall devise, while he exer cises himself in this art, than he would do in reading the tedious explanations of examples de vised by another.
